In Reflection of a Best Friend's Wedding

*In reflection of a best friend's wedding

In Reflection of a Best Friend's Wedding

As I sit in awe

At this union of two people

Who I have seen live love

Past friendship and lust

In faith, and trust that

Fate brought them to this moment

Together

Two people

Two spirits

Two hearts

I find myself wanting with teary eyes

My own moment like this and I

Wonder where this longing

Of beloved belonging

Began from

Is it in our nature and instinct

Is it feeling or something we are thought to think

Is it learned or are we really beings

Of love in this way, where we are meant to be

Meant to find

Meant to grow in union with one

for the rest of our lives?

Even despite titles of husbands and wives

Are we drawn to one another

Without the language of lovers

If we had no known word to express

Is it in our animal being

To be in love like this

I confuse my self

Of union's truth

Am I supposed to want to give

possession of my heart to another

And allow the take

Without exchange

Of what beats life through me?

To him

To someone, if I think he is

The One

I don't know, but I know what I feel

In this moment

Seeing my best friend take a vow

On marriage's path

That I want with all my heart

What those two have
