We’d been waiting for this for years.

Bought dresses, shoes, and rings,

Bows, purses, and flowers.

So little time to find our favorite things

Wearing them for a few simple hours.

Pink is my color.

Black more suits her.

Complimentary partners,

A duo, in a word.

Hand in hand, rushing to the venue,

Excited to arrive at the dance.

Her gorgeous face took my breath away.

I found myself caught in a trance,

On this rooftop getaway.

The lights were quite perfect,

And my heart was hers to steal.

Finally seniors, experiencing life;

It was all becoming real.
