pretty dresses fifteen days-pretty dresses by ~katy-jo
until that day-
nervous all day,
alive all night.
pretty dresses,
bright lights,
he smiles like the stars.
finally the day,
it's too long a wait-
he doesn't know what to say,
my legs are numb-
heart is staggering,
jerking,
stopping,
hard to stay calm-
anxious.
he looks over,
his face perfect-
like the moonlit sky.
afraid to reach out-
he starts walking,
moving,
i have to follow-
even though i feel
like i'm frozen.
takes my hand.
as we walk down,
all the people,
lights,
noises,
pretty dresses.
'you look beautiful.'
