A Cinderella Wedding

Watching, waiting, enjoying the way

The white dress sways across your legs.

You look so lovely as you dance.

Your hand like a dream feels warm

In mine as I lead the dance,

My clumsy feet avoiding yours.

We are the life of this party.

The lights are dim as the dance goes on,

The lights are bright as I stand still,

Statue-still at the altar,

Watching, waiting, enjoying the way

The white dress sways across your legs.

You look so cheery as you approach.

Your face like a dream I see

Out of the corner of my eye

Stealing a glance

As we say our vows tonight,

Then go away to our second dance.

Us together, the perfect fit

Until the dance ends,

The moment we

Both have been so

Eagerly awaiting.

The dance ends, just like

The vows fade with the magic.

The clock strikes twelve

And, racing down empty streets

Each to our own home,

Our own personal

Happily

Ever afters,

We separate,

Leaving the glass slippers behind.
