Maid of Honor

Love, I promise you eternity
I’ll stand beside you till the sky explodes 
But I won’t ask you on one knee
I’m not the one who’ll share your home

You’re not my bride, but you’re still my girl
I cannot unlearn the thousand ways I admire you, I adore you so far beyond lace and pearls
I’ll meet you at the chapel, white dress or blue

And though no man deserves you,
my heart is here to serve you,
so I’ll be overjoyed if he makes you laugh 
We’ll plan every last detail
from first date to veil
Let me move the earth on your behalf

I’ll stand before God and I’ll declare my affection
for the most special human I’ve been blessed to meet; I’ll raise one loving toast to the one I love most
before leading your bridesmaids down the street
So buy good rosé and I’ll crown you in flowers
For our love has always been made of honor
