There's a carnival in town
And he really wants go
But he's not going alone
And nobody will go with him
He's so ******
That when someone does ask him
To go with a group
He almost says no
He almost misses out
On the dinner
And the rides
And the conversation
That will change his life

"We never talk anymore" she said
"You should text me some time"
And just like that his anger is gone
Dwindling away as it was
It wouldn't leave him
Until then

He's so stressed out
Money just doesn't want to help him
He's exchanging so much of their time
For no help
As he begins to lose control
The little that he had left
He wants to throw his fists
Through everything he can
He wants feel the pain of that
Because maybe it'll bring him back to earth

She walks up to him
Knowing
And wraps her arms around his neck
He leans forward
Into her chest
And listens to her heart
Ba-dum
Ba-dum
Ba-dum
Ba-dum
And starts to cry
Tears of relief
As her voice
Sweet as an angel
Echoes through his dark
"Baby it's OK
We don't need anything fancy
We've got each other
I love you"
And all of the worry
Disappears

He's is so excited
He's been preparing for this day
For some time now
Planning on the right time
The right way
The right words
He's ready to take a leap
To make a commitment
All he wants
Is to be with her
Support her
Lift her
Smile
Cry
Laugh with her
For the rest of his days
So he asks
"Will you marry me?"
And watches as her face lights up
Losses himself
As her arms wrap around him
And her lips touch his
He soars
As she hugs him
And he raises from his knee
A very different man
In front of the woman
Who changed his life
