When I first met her
(actually on our first date...
for we met both drunk and sober)
I vowed never to love her
more than I loved God
(God with a capital "g").
Loving her came naturally,
(more natural than loving God
with the capital "g")
so I decide to honor, fulfill and obey
most of her desires
but saved the big one for "that day";
the day this mysterious God
with a capital "g" would complete us
and we would graduate from "date"
and our love consummate.
But I found out fate dictates
how late God relates.
