175

I'm sorry I didn't come to the wedding.
I bet your dress was beautiful.
I imagine the chatter in the lobby
of the hotel must have been pretty loud.

The day of your wedding I woke up early.
I made pancakes in the dark.
Then I sat on the tile floor with the plate on my lap.
I sat there until the sun burned by eyes.

Then when your wedding started I unplugged the phone,
so I could stop waiting for someone to call.
I wouldn't have picked up
but I thought someone might call.

Anyway I hope
you and your groom have a nice honeymoon.
I'll see you the next time
you take out a book.
