One day she bent on one knee,
Took out an emerald ring ,
Stared at me straight into my eyes,
And said ,
"WILL YOU MARRY ME ?"

The next day she went to America
And we promised we would make this work.
The next week turned to the next month
Months turned to years , and she was quiet.
No text , not emoji _
Not even a full stop.

But l thought we were still working.
The image of her bent on one knee,
Was still fresh in my mind,
The emerald ring was still firmly held on my finger .

But then _
Yesterday l saw the news .
They reported it as the wedding of the century.
The headline read,
" THEY FINALLY TIED THE KNOT "

Clad in a long wedding dress ,
l saw her ,
Wearing the most beautiful smile ,
Her 100-megawatt-for-you-only smile,
l saw her ,
The love of my life .
My first love .
