Best day of her life

Somewhere on the internet there is an album
Pictures from the best day of her life and one day
You will come across it and perhaps by then you would know
Or maybe it'll take you by surprise and you will hate us all
For not telling you about it, for letting this thing happen
You will go through the pictures, hoping to find in his face
A morsel of sadness, reluctance, a need to flee, run while he still could
Instead a smile, laughter, happiness, even
And it will break you in a way you never thought possible
It will feel like the worst pain you've felt in a long time
Her white sari, his grey suit, their poruwa, first dance
A newly married couple on the best day of their life
Almost mocking you from the screen
