The Big Saturday Night Reveal
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
The work week has come and gone
Saturday has finally arrived on the docket
A plan that has been in the works for months
Finally coming together for an overdue moment
Palms sweatier than the Revenge of the Nerds gang
At their high school proms with the cheerleading squad
Stomach lassoed around the windpipe tighter
Than a Boa Constrictor with its latest bird of prey
Heart ready to do the shortest Bossa nova on record
Legs turned to utter gelatin at the idea of tonight
Opening the vault and spilling out the most personal contents
Inside the most exclusively private safe imaginable
Nothing involving the Hope Diamond or anything like that
But something much more valuable and rarer
Where no price tag can put a label on its value
The thing that The Beatles sang about as the only thing they need
That's right, ladies and gentlemen: love
Could be considered a secondhand emotion in the wrong hands
But for those who never truly said it and meant it
Something more precious entirely
Ready to pull back the curtain and see what comes next
In the real life chapter of this story
Not the fictitious fairy tale world of rainbows and unicorns
However, slow the pace; game for whatever comes
Tired of playing it safe, but not looking to make demands
Let's see where it goes and not worry about following
Any traditional path because tradition is overrated
Learned that the hard way; now sticking with breaking the rules.
