My heart would be remiss,
Neglectful to dismiss,
Significant events which have occurred,
On Tuesday of last week,
Our boldness passed the meek,
And intimate proclivities concurred.

Platonic in the past,
Strong feelings have amassed,
Forevermore each other we will share,
Acknowledged here and now,
Concurrent with a vow,
To treat your heart with love, respect, and care.

Though prematurely had,
Inclined to make you sad,
Imploring you to tender your refrain,
I hope you rest assured,
The truth behind my word,
Insures your choice will never be in vain.
