Trolly

Who would have thought
Ten years ago
In study hall
He copied her Latin homework
They stood within ten feet
As photos were snapped
Of each other with someone else
He took her best friend to the prom

The college years flew by
But they stayed in touch
Reconnected by default
In a hometown
Where no one else lived
Halloween was their first kiss

And even though they drifted
Fate would have its way
Another first kiss on New Years
Soon a ring appeared
And of course she said yes

Suddenly a house emerged
Hammer and nail, sand and paint
The entire time, he wanted to faint
Trees falling over, sinkholes and smashed glass
More beads of sweat
He wiped from his brow

One thing was for sure
The house was made with love
From family and friends
Who helped along the way

They day quickly approaches
They would tie the knot and say I do
Who would have thought
Ten years ago
That these two
Would be husband and wife
Sometimes you find
What you’re looking for
Right in front of your eyes
