Our Pearl

I pick up the beautiful fresh water pearl we just found.

Crowds of people and flashing cameras surround us.

You get down on one knee and take the pearl gently from my hands.

“Marry me. I love you,” you say with a smile on your face.

I don’t know what to say. I am filled with a happiness I’ve

Been seeking for years.

As tears form in my bright blue eyes I nod my head.

You pick me up, kiss me, and spin me around.

A loud applause is barely audible to me because I’m so far

Gone from this place. It’s just you and me.

Before I know it, I’m in the white gown of my dreams.

I take a step forward, longing to be next to my groom.

I open my eyes and see a dark room.

It was only just a dream.
