by the beach

why would people need churches,
or even to to the temples,
to pray and read their vows,
and follow the same old bows.

to pour the tea in a cup,
to walk in circles around the fire,
or do any for that matter,
to make the officiation better?

well vows are made and stuff is paid
set by some old dude whose probably dead,
i wonder if they actually memorized it in the head,
or just followed what the pastor said.

i wonder how simple it can be,
maybe on a beach some where out there,
beside the ocean that has no memories,
and just a few friends who actually care.

to know that it is not the action of it,
that makes two become one,
its not just lighting the candles together,
but knowing two hearts are joined with each other.

i choose to love you,
even before i've met you,
putting in the ring on your finger,
is just a small part of the picture.

haha not as easy to be done than said,
with all the aunties and parents in this date

note: yeah yeah, i know there's such a thing called tradition and stuff. we've got to do our responsibilities as kids and the actions have some meanings to it
