The first moment we locked eyes, I knew my future.<\/p>\n
I wanted it all, when before I wanted none of it.<\/p>\n
I wanted the last name, the last breath, the last embrace.<\/p>\n
I wanted the first touch, the first kiss, the first gentle, sweet<\/p>\n

I wanted the weight of a band on my finger, the long slow days<\/p>\n
after the cake slice and the rice has fallen, and there is just us<\/p>\n
and the days of just living, just being, and to hold his hand<\/p>\n
when there would be no more distance, no more ‘maybe-someday’,<\/p>\n
but a today, and a tomorrow, and a future walking, running,<\/p>\n
flying towards me for a long string of years of blissful, sweet simplicity<\/p>\n
and a yes, a tomorrow, and a promise of forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
