Only Time Will Tell

After all the false starts
And wrong turns,
Sleepless nights
And the agony
You went through
Over finding the one
Meant for you,
You finally meet a guy
Who you think
Just might be it.
The chemistry seems right,
And he practically sweeps you
Off your feet.
The two of you are
Inextricably drawn together
Like two halves
Meant to be one.
You have common interests
And shared values,
And low and behold
He doesn’t try to
Go to bed with you
On the very first date.
Now isn’t it crazy?
He is the one
You would like to
Make it with.
You find yourself acting silly,
Being sort of goofy,
Feeling like a kid all over again
And wondering if
You are making
A complete fool of yourself.
Relax, Of course you are!
As you get to know him
Little things creep in,
Minor annoyances
Like discovering
That he isn’t perfect after all.
He can’t read your mind
And doesn’t always know
What you want
Anymore than you do,
But you assure yourself
That he is still the one.
The two of you grow closer
Until one day
In a magical moment
Full of pomp and circumstance,
He asks you to be his wife,
Or maybe it is you
That does the asking.
He presents you with a ring
Symbolizing his intentions.
It is just a rock
With lots of facets,
That changes everything
And maybe nothing.
Even as you walk to the altar
You still wonder,
Is he really the one
You were looking for?
Only time will tell!
