She Gave Me You

A poem this time.

[WP] "Show me that old black-and-white wedding picture, Dad. Tell me your story."

Beautiful was an unobtainable idea
Yet she was the embodiment of it.
Perfection has always been unobtainable
Yet it had be obtained that day.
She was like a snowflake,
floating down the aisle wrapped in filmy lace.
It was a dream
That I never wanted to wake up from.
I was supposed to have her forever
since we had beaten so much.
And her life was stolen
by a .15 blood alcohol level.
By a teenager convinced
Of immortality.
But she gave me a gift.
She gave me you.
