-I DO-
I do.
-REGRET-
I get up, walk over to the restroom. I sigh, pick up the knife. I feel a little tipsy, maybe hungover from last night. Today is the day. I take a quick shower, put on a red short dress. A bow for my hair and fishtail to finish off.
Its a nice day, sun is up wind is blowing. Clouds are hardly seen. i walk inside the church. Church bells ring, i kneel down to my god. I find a seat at the very back. And wait. I get desperate, i start shaking. My breathing became heavier. "I have to stay" i whisper to myself..
She looks beautiful, amazing, just like a star. Her gentle hands hold a perfect bouquet of flowers. Her dress moving perfectly with each step she takes. Her proud father by her side. And waiting for her at the front is the man that i love. I'm here today making sure he is happy with who once used to be my best friend. I'm dying inside, remembering every kiss, every touch. She's by your side now, the priest is talking. You both dont care. Your both here to say yes. I should have never left you. I was dumb.
"Does anyone in here object the marriage of these two?"
There i am, staring, thinking "stop it, stop it here." No, i dont want to ruin this happy day.
Minutes pass by, they have already kissed they already said i do. I stand up... run outside and cry. Can't talk, cant breath. My cries are silent. I'm trying to grasp the air. I hear cheers and applause. I wipe away my tears, get in my car and put in the keys. Theres a knock by the right window. Its him!
I unlock the door and plants himself right down next to me.
"Were are we going?" he asks
"Don't you have a wedding to be at right now?"
"It got boring when you left/" He chuckled a little and then his smile turned to a frown.
"Stop, please just go." I said to with tears halfway down my face.
"Tell me the truth, how do you feel about all this?" He was now looking at me with those kind sad eyes he would do every time he'd see me cry back then.
"Honestly, it hurts, I miss you and the way we used to be. Theres nothing to do anymore, your a married man and your happy. I'm going to be fine." I cleaned the tears away and covered my face as if i was five again.
"No girl in this world will ever mean as much as you ever did to me. You left me, i had to move on. But i'll never be as happy as you made me. And maybe in another life, we will be together." He opened the door of the car and started walking out,"Oh and i forgot" he added,"It's time i let go of this." He set down a picture of us down on the seat and left. I cried and started heading home.
I do... I do regret everything.
Thats when i realized, my mission in life was now over. I saw things all differently now. I was now laying in a coffin. Everyone dressed in black. Everyone dressed in black. Every family member i had was all shedding tears. Im sorry, forgive me. He was sitting at the very back crying... But soon enough left just the same way i had walked out from his wedding.
I'LL SEE YOU SOON. I LOVE YOU.
-End-
