I... Poem by Oneida Valdez

I fell asleep in his arms.
The best feeling in the world was to wake up next to him.
I spent the day with him.
I feel that it was the best day of my life so far.
I notice the way I look at him.
I look at him with love in my eyes.
I went places with him.
We held hands in the store.
We kissed.
I never wanted to let go.
I wanted to stay where I was.
The day pasted by as fast as I could see.
The minutes slipped by like crazy.
If I could go back to all the sneaking around and the secret kisses,
I wouldn’t hesitate to say yes.
I once dreamt of walking down an aisle dressed in white,
I dreamt that I was walking to him.
I felt the words “I do.” Come out of my mouth.
My eyes opened, and I noticed that it was all a dream.
A stupid dream that most likely won’t happen anymore.
But I did notice another thing…
Him lying next to me.
