Repressed
Watching her walk down the aisle, unexplainable bittersweet happiness flowed through my system. Sweetness, from the memory of her love story. Bitterness, from the thought that it had resonated a failed one.
But comedy trumps tragedy.
Tears flow from unlikely eyes. Floods the smile. Suppressing the urge to laugh because of the overflowing joy felt. Strange contrast.
I cried, blubbered like any normal girl would.
Is marriage truly overrated, much less crying in weddings? One will never fully understand till they find themselves wishing they had something to help wipe away the tears that threaten to ruin their makeup. The strangeness is surreal. But memory serves it vivid and rich with epiphanies.
I reckon you will never, though try if you must, suppress what’s truly inside.
There you were the day before
You knew you had to go
There you were the day before
Falling into love
You know it’s never going to be the same
You know it’s not supposed to stay the same
It’s not supposed to stay that way
Why hurry? Why worry?
I’ll make you smile
You can forget for a while
