No Regret

I’ll never forget the day we first met,
A look and a nod was all I would 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 that passed as a day,
Confidently, we married,
and confidently, I say…

I stand here your Bridegroom,
and you are 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.

As we grow in Christ and our relationships, things about us change. I wrote this in 2004 and today I felt that I needed to update the words to reflect my view of this experience through my current heart filters.
