Getting Married

Let’s get married, you said. I sat up quickly and just in time, stopped my mouth saying, After two days? You’re going mad!
Why? Where’s the gain?
We’ve already said we’ll stay together, You with me or me with you, and care for each other, and make love to each other. We don’t need a piece of paper saying Mr and Mrs. Anyway, you don’t have a good record when it comes to marriage. Or so I’ve heard, I said. I think I want an extra tie, another binding, a public one. So that your friends would ring you up, concerned, and warn you not to go ahead. And mine would try to find you to do the same and worry about my sanity. But not for long. We’ll do it quick, you said. And then we can smile behind their backs as they check our progress down the years, amazed that we’re still together, still like each other, still love. And, after all, I have a much worse record of not being married. So, let's get married, you said. #Poem #Poetry #LynnHaven #GettingMarried Visit our shop and subscribe. Sponsor us.
