The Day I Lost You Poem by edward turner

I saw you there at the alter in your beautiful white gown, smiling at your soon to be, preparing to say your vows. I saw the happiness in your face as the groom began to speak, your mother burst out in tears as the your joy flowed your cheeks.
I knew once again that love had slipped through my hands; one love ends and another begins with the excanging of the bands. If I had whispered ' I love you' in your ear, would you suddenly change your mind, and take a chance at romance you've seemed to have left behind? But wit no courage to speak, I stand and turn walk away, and wish you a life time of happiness on this your wedding day.
