WAKING UP, OPENING AND RUBBING THE SLEEP FROM MY EYES,

AND LOOK OVER TO MAKE SURE SHE’S STILL THERE AND YES YOU ARE TO MY SURPRISE.

THE MEMORIES START TO COME UP LIKE PREVIEWS OF A MOVIE,

YOU MOVE A LIL AND I COULD TELL THAT, MY LOVE IS STILL SLEEPY.

I REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WE MET, SHE LOOK AT ME AND SMILED;

NOT KNOWING IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY DEMISE.

I TRIED TO PLAY IT COOL AND NOT LET HER KNOW THERE WAS SINGING IN MY HEART,

I GOT TO TALK TO HER, I GOT TO HEAR HER VOICE, I CAN’T LET THIS FEELING GO, I GOT DO THIS SMART.

SO I WALKED UP TO HER TRYING NOT TO MAKE MYSELF LOOK A FOOL.

PLAYED IT MY MIND, BUT I JUST ASK AND PLAYED IT COOL.

AND EVER SINCE, A SMILE HAS BEEN IMPLANTED,

MY WORLD HAS SLOWED DOWN, NOT SO FRANTIC.

THAT’S RIGHT, LOL, WE’RE CRUISING AT THE RIGHT PACE,

AND THE BETTER WE HAVE GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER, IT FELT YOU WERE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

I CAN’T BELIEVE GOD LET AN ANGEL DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO BE BY MY SIDE,

AND BECAUSE OF YOU I HAVE BECOME EVEN MORE HUMBLED AND FULL OF PRIDE.

NO EYELINER, LIPSTICK, OR BLUSH.

I KNOW I LOVE HER; THIS IS MORE THN SOME JR. HIGH CRUSH.

SO, TO COMPLETE THEMY FAMILY PUZZLE,

I STOP BY JEWELER AND A FLORIST FOR WHITE ROSES; “TWO DOZEN!”

SO I CALL YOU AND SAY, “HEY LOVE, HOW WAS YOUR DAY? I MUST SEE YOU.”

SHE SAYS, “HEY BABE, HEARING YOUR VOICE JUST MADE IT GREAT. SURE!”  SHE HAS NO CLUE.

I APPROACH HER WITH CONFIDENCE IN MY HEART AND MY STOMACH HAD BUTTERFLIES,

BUT I KNEW THIS IS THE MOMENT, SO I CROSS ALL THE T’S AND DOT ALL THE I’S

SO I KISSED HER AND GAVE HER THE ROSES;

SHE STILL DON’T KNOW I’M ABOUT TO PROPOSE.

EVERYTHING BECAME TOTALLY STILL AND STARS WERE SO BRIGHT,

IT WAS THE PERFECT SUMMER NIGHT.

AS I GET DOWN ON MY KNEE WITH TEARS FORMING IN MY EYES, “AS I LOOK UP TO YOU AND GOD, PLEASE SHARE MY LIFE?”

“PLEASE BE MY BETTER HALF, MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER………………………………………….MY WIFE.”
