A Wedding Poem by Carrie Bradshaw

His hello was the end of her endings,
Her laugh was their first step down the aisle.
His hand would be hers to hold forever,
His forever was as simple as her smile.

An ocean couldn’t prevent it.
A New York minute wouldn’t let it pass.
Does the universe decide for us,
Which love will fade and which will last.

He said she was what was missing.
She said she instantly new.
She was a question to be answered.
And his answer was “I do.”

I've always liked this poem.
It's so simple, and so romantic, and so perfect.
And the scene it's in says a lot, too.
She's reading it to commemorate Love, and he gets up and walks away.

He walks away. In the middle of her poem about commitment.

And isn't that the way it always goes.

You're in the middle of having a revelation, and your audience stands, and tells you everything you've believed was a lie, was a game, and walks away.

How can anybody expect anybody to be balanced, and whole, and sane after doing something like that to them?

I hope you realize what you've asked of me, and what you've done.

I hope you realize that in doing this you've repeated the offense of so many before you.

I hope you realize this is what you promised not to do.


This is what you were so appalled at when it wasn't you.
And now that it is you, there are no second thoughts.

I hope you realize that someone who truly values "peace, <3, empathy, acceptance and an open heart" would never let this happen.

We both thought we were kindred spirits, but it turns out we weren't. You got bored, and I got hurt. It is so unspeakably unfair that because you chose not to love me, I don't get to love you.



Thanks for finally making me realize that what I've dreaded to accept is The Absolute Truth.



Of all the interpersonal relations I've experienced in my life, the one with you was by far the most incredibly painful, and the one I'd be most willing to relive. I have been more hurt by you than by any other person I have ever come into contact with. But we both know I wouldn't forget you for the world.
