Formalities

he told me to think carefully
and that I was required to
read the fine print below
this wasn’t a weekend getaway
I was signing up for
instead, a lifetime of togetherness
I told him that I agreed
to all conditions as long as he
would be careful with my delicate heart
as it wasn’t an organ for trial operation
and could not be sewn up neatly
if broken again
he swore to love me completely
and never allow the beating to slow
and I promised that he would be
my one and only for eternity
and with those words
the vows were already made
and the rings and ceremony
were just a formality
as we had already given
our hearts completely to the other.
