The Proposal

Looking in your eyes

I see something there

Not what I thought

But something more rare

The intensity of your gaze

As I stared into your soul

Was enough to give me shivers

Even though I wasn't cold

You started to speak

Yet, I couldn't take my eyes away

Your words were a blur

But I know you asked me to stay

For the night

I agreed, then you asked me

"Wat are you doing for the rest of your life"

"Cuz with you is where I wanna be"

As I tried to find my words

I gave you an answer

But the words were slurred

Between tears

And racing thoughts

You walked towards me

With a blue Tiffany box

Yes of course!

I said again

You smiled sheepishly

As I thought, I got a good man

To love me through all

Thick and thin

And to be with me

To the very end

You slipped the ring on my finger

As I wiped away tears

Thinking how we'll be together

Even through our golden years

You kissed me repeatedly

As I complained I looked a mess

It didn't matter to you

Cause you didn't love me any less

Blushing uncontrollably

I kissed you deep

So high off adrenaline

I didn't think I could sleep

But somehow you managed

To grab me by the hand

And lead me away

To what seemed like forbidden land

Following you

I had no regrets

By being with you

I was given the best
