No Regret

I’ll never forget the day we first met,
A look and a nod was all I could get.
With a turn on your heel and a hasty hello,
You sized me up quickly,
then bade me to go.

What my life might have been,
had I never persisted,
Less sweeter the chase,
had you not resisted.
Three years of courtship had passed as a day,
Confidently we married,
Confidently, I say…

I stand here your husband,
with you as my bride,
Best friends now, and lovers,
in you I confide.

I’ll never forget the day we first met,
True Love is ours,
to this day,
no regret.
