Before You Rush to Marriage

Don’t hurry, please.

Don’t rush away from this new opportunity you’ve been handed.

I know you think you should sprint towards that line.

That this is what you are expected to do.

But you don’t have to.

You don’t need to.

Please.

I don’t want anything from you

But for you to take your time.

I know you think I want your love

Your heart

But I don’t.

I just want you take your time.

Take a moment before you go

And leave me behind.

I know you don’t think you will.

I know you think you’ll be the one

To balance friendship and a marriage.

But you won’t.

I know you

And I know you won’t.

So take a breath.

Just for a moment.

Please.

Just let me have a part of you

Just one last time.
