The Second Time Around

It was the second time around for the both of them.

He had long left The Heart of Dixie for her Green Mountain state.

1102 miles through the world as he knew it -

1102 miles finding his Forever.

She asked for her café change with a smile of sunshine,

And he had never seen a woman so beautiful.

On May 12, 2018, they had their first date at Grazers - the hamburger palace;

She sat with Hepburn's hair the color of an ashen pearl,  

And his face akin to a sailor's sky.

She was his laughing gas,

And he the Sun of her Soul. 

That night they were surrounded by seashell prom dresses and silken suits. 

Young lovers danced the dark until the palace ached- 

And that night they knew they were each others Forever.

They married on June 26, 2020. 

Married on a field of emerald green 

Climbing high over the mountain tops

Sanctioned by the doctor of his mechanical part

Both with vows written like a beating heart.

She promises to love him with all the love that she has to give. 

And he to love when love is simple and when love is not.

It was the second time around for the both of them.

Together for the rest their days of life

Together they said, “l do.”
