"I can't imagine my life without you here by my side."

"If you can wait until the day I am free from everything, I will make sure that you will be the happiest bride."

"Please wait. Just wait. I love you very much, my only love."

Those words still lingers inside my heart. It saddens a part of me and at the same time, I feel excited to see him.

So, while waiting for his video call from overseas, I decided to write something in my small journal - a poem.

My heart is filled with love and affection,
My mind is full of wisdom and courage to hold on,
Still hoping that one day, you'll arrive and see me in person,
I promise that I will wait no matter how long it takes,
Because, my love for you is deeper than the flowing lava of the volcano.

I chuckled after writing the last part of my poem. Then, patiently waiting for a call from my dear love. But, minutes, and hours have passed, he didn't call me.

I tried to compose myself when all of a sudden the doorbell ring. So, I decided to go out of my room and find out who's passing by.

When I reached the front door and opened it, I saw four balloons and the words written on each balloon left me dumbfounded.

"Will you marry me, Selena?" Those were the words and for the first time in the last 5 years of long distance relationship, I got to see him personally.

Tears running down my cheeks while he is still waiting for my answer. Just like a flowing lava of erupting volcano, I can't help myself.

Without further ado, I said "YES, Lovell! Yes" to him. He kissed me while was hugging him tight.
