Wedding Dress Wrinkles

Met her at a party with his ring on her hand

But her eyes told a story he’d never understand

We snuck out early, didn’t talk much

Just one look and we both knew enough

⸻

Beach town weekends, different names

Room keys and silence, no one to blame

I never said, “Leave him”—just let it play

Guess I liked her better when she couldn’t stay

⸻

We were shadows in hotel sheets

A secret too heavy to keep

She played the bride, I played pretend

She went home but came back again

Now she’s got his name and a house on a hill

But she still finds her way to me when it’s quiet and still

I never asked her not to say “I do”

But wedding dress wrinkles say she wanted me too

⸻

Saw the pictures, all white and gold

But I know the side of her no one’s told

She called last night just to “catch up”

But we don’t talk unless she’s needing my touch

⸻

Maybe I’m weak, maybe we’re wrong

But you don’t fake that kind of fire this long

⸻

We were shadows in hotel sheets

Now she sleeps in someone else’s dreams

But late at night when the guilt won’t fade

She shows up at my door like nothing’s changed

He’s got the vows, the ring, the plan

But I’ve got her shaking in my hands

And maybe I’ll never say, “Me instead”

But she still shows up with wedding dress wrinkles in my bed
