A young man
As I sit here and think about life
I think about age and religion
I think about *** and ***
I think what's to come and what has gone
I think about what has shaped me
I think about who has shaped me
I think about the person I am becoming
I think her face
Her smile
Her gentle voice
The twinkle in her when she can't wait to tell you something
The softness of her touch
The way she hides her ears even though they are cute
I think about her
I think about the future
I think about where this is going
I question whether I'm good enough for her
I question if I'm everything she wants a man to be
I wonder if it will be enough
If in years down the road she will still love me
As I sit on our bed
Thinking about these things
I look up and she catches my stare
She see deep into the very soul
She sees my thoughts and feelings
And with that look she says I love you
She takes my breathe and before I can get the words out her lips touch mine
The words turn into thoughts as she kisses me
"I love you, and I'm gonna marry you"
