Standing never felt so selfish
For when love has knelt before you
Or you before it
The world and it's clocks pause
...
Yield
...
To every beat of the rapid cacophony
Ticking faster than any standard metronome
Dissonant from the first words
"Will you..."
Yet somehow harmonious when completed
"Marry me..."

It is in that second that time rewinds
And all the memories shared between
Two hearts
Melds together in the perfect landscape
Of carefully planned out location
All just for hoping
...
Wishing
...
That the answer given might slow the pulse
Allowing the clocks to tick and tock
At regular intervals once more
All so that the selfish desire to stand
Can be done selflessly
The minute you say
"Yes"
