Suppose they had chosen another date, Suppose it had gone ahead as planned, Celebration, commitment, hand in hand. Satin in silence hangs, hidden for now. Vows unreached yet lived out in delight. In their cushioned box the golden spheres Hibernate patiently, untouched. Today they sit in quiet communion Sharing looks and books and cups of coffee. Foreheads brush through unkempt hair The smallest smile, the deepest care. For in love's light they have dared Its reflection will be their glory.
