JUST IN CASE

 

Along Watson Avenue, there was a boy, who rode his bike,

Hopefully a beautiful girl would be outside, who he liked.

But each time the door was closed, and nobody was in sight,

One day, he hoped that she would be there with all his might.

 

At work, she would capture his heart and make him feel great,

He prayed that he could be with her and that he would go on a date.

He joked around, saying that he would be over after work,

But she told him, “no” all the time, and thinking that he was a dork.

 

But the snowflakes came down, on a cold March day,

She was being very nervous, not knowing what to say.

Her heart was beating faster, as she began to get hot,

She turned the corner and was slowing down, coming to a complete stop.

She leaned over to me, as I gazed into her sparkling baby brown eyes,

Her soft voice replied, “Ryan, I am ready to go out with you” as it was a great surprise.

 

I could not believe that this was happening to me,

As I waited so long, for this day to be.

She dropped me off at my house, as I said “goodbye”,

I was floating and felt so wonderful deep down inside.

 

That night, I was twisting and turning, not able to fall asleep,

For I realized, she is the one that I will always keep.

Each day was extremely exciting, as I wanted to be with her forever,

I tried so hard to do everything right, so that we will always be together.

 

We tried to keep it a secret at work that we were going out,

But the rumor went around, and it was true, without any doubt.

I waited impatiently by the phone, expecting her to call,

She told me about her day at school, the homework and what she saw.

 

I would figure out math problems, so she could get them right,

But most of the times, I was no help, since she was more bright.

In order for us to express our feelings, we would write letters,

It made us more comfortable and at ease, which made us feel better.

 

Just in case, if this is the last letter I write to you,

Words will never express, the memories of the girl that I knew.

But that girl has blossomed into a sparkling young lady,

Who has touched my heart and soul, who made me love her crazy.

 

Just in case, if I never told you how much you mean to me,

I will write my feelings on plain paper for you to see.

I don’t know where I should start or where I should end,

But I know for sure, my love and dedication to you will always ascend.

 

I could write of everything that happened in the last five years,

All my memories and feelings would always be there.

But I think I wouldn’t be able to write, with all my tears,

So I have decided to write positively without my fears.

 

On Watson Avenue, there was a lady who just came off a plane,

Waiting for a young man who was outside relieving his pain.

His arms were wide open, and was gleaming with light

She told him she loved him and she would never leave his sight.

 

Every upcoming day, he will give his best efforts to make her assure,

That they will always be with each other even through their senior years.

He will honestly tell her, that that they will make it through,

She will agree, even without his hair, that he is handsome too.

 

The light rain came down on a humid spring day,

He will be secure of being quite certain of what to say.

His knee will be bent down, as he will say the phrase,

She will kiss him on the lips repeatedly as they will be both amaze.

She will then stare in his bright hazel eyes

Her answer will be “Ryan, I will be your wife without any disguise”.

 

I can’t believe that this day has come to be a father,

I waited nine months, to see my new baby daughter.

I laid her down to sleep in her crib as I said “goodnight”,

Praying to God, thanking him for keeping that airplane in sight.

 

That night, I was twisting and turning, not able to fall asleep,

The baby was crying and I was hoping for the next few years to leap.

Denise was a great mother, who cared for our kids,

It was the exact same love for me as she once did.

 

It was time to let everyone know about our retirement,

Dental and accounting days will be leaving our environment.

Vacation time was near, as we both went on the plane,

I gave you a letter to show you my feelings as we flew over Maine.

 

Just in case, if I never told you how much you mean to me,

I will write my feelings on plain paper for you to see.

I don’t know where I should start or where I should end,

But I know for sure, my love and dedication to you will always ascend.

 

I could write of everything that happened in the last sixty years,

All my memories and feelings would always be there.

But I think I wouldn’t be able to write, with all my tears,

So I have decided to write positively without my fears.

 

Just in case, if this is the last letter I write to you,

Words will never express, the memories of my wife that I knew.

But she has blossomed into a lively soul mate,

Who is with me all the time in my mind of state.
