Marriage?

I stare at the mirror again

Making sure my dress is perfect

My best friend and maid of honor

Tells me it's going to be okay



Nick would love me even if

I married him in my pajamas



I don't believe her, so I straighten out my dress

Again



My father shows up.

"Nick's waiting,"

he says,

"And he can't wait to see you."



I nod, and take his hand

Ending one chapter of my life

Starting another



Making my life complete

Marrying the man of my dreams



I start down the aisle

Get to my love

Start the vows

"Nickolas, do you take..."



The priest's voice is cut off

By what sounds like the fire alarm



I wake up

And realize that the only way

I'll stare into my angel Nick's eyes

Is the collage of posters

Hanging on my wall



Again I realize

I was dreaming

I'm always dreaming



I try to close my eyes again

Bring my angel in the tux back to me

But I can't

And it finally sinks in

Author's Notes/Comments: 

God, am I on a Nick poem roll or what?
