How was it only a month ago
When we decided to let our feelings show
It feels like I’ve loved you forever
Let you go, I will never

This past month, for me, has taught
That true love doesn’t need to be sought
What I feel for you is so genuine
It didn’t take long to let you in

You have my heart
We’re far apart
But distance is nothing
Because we know we have something

This something that we feel
Is so far past real
This past month has shown me
That you and I are much better as “we”

Thank you, my love, for being there
Thank you for proving you care
Thank you for being my light
Thank you for helping me sleep at night

Honestly, I could go on for days
About why I love you, no haze
You complete me, my missing puzzle piece
I’m no longer weak, you’ve slain my beast

Forever, I am yours
As long as you want me, I’m yours
You love who I am, so I’m yours
There’s nobody else for me, I’m yours

I’m so comfortable with you
The love I have for you is true
You’d always ask me why I cried
My trust in you is unwavering, you’ve never lied

You’re all I see
We’re meant to be
You’re all I dream
My shining beam

I love your smile
I think I’ll stay awhile
I love your laugh
You’re like my other half

With your ocean eyes
You wear no disguise
And neither do I
You lift me so high

Six days wasn’t enough
About this, I cannot bluff
It’s been a month, one that I cherish
And for many months to come, my love won’t perish

Tinkling rhythms engulfed us
As we sat in a cuban bistro,
Surrounded by the populace
And having nary a place to go.

We spoke of many things
That curried the other's favor,
Then I noticed her silver rings
And decided I'd wait no later.

This stranger that sat before me,
Blue curls atop her pretty head,
Observed my hand steadily
As it dropped off the table's end.

I reached into my bag and withdrew a rock,
It's complexion of gold and plaque shining silver.
Her reaction was that of pleasant shock
As I wished her congrats on turning a year older.

Now, a year and some days later,
We've both reached a special place.
Day to day I get to face her
And feel my lover's warm embrace.

Blessed rice on rivers of love
confetti danced into the ocean
salt preserved the truth with consummate glory

Hands clasped after years of adventures
shared. I could almost see you and me  
back under the canopy trees. I wonder if you
remember now that moment I was yours.

I could feel the itch to run to you
as the clock scratched seconds into silence.
I smiled at the idea of waiting to be with you
and the adventures we would share.

One would think I would have
been use to you by then, but I could
never tire of poking jokes, and flirt fights
that we shared. I longed to see you there.

At the end of petals and church aisle, I found
the clock stop. My breathing fade as
your eyes meet mine. You reached for me
under a canopy of trees. I didn’t wonder

then what you thought, because I saw
it in your eyes. They swelled
over with love and life,
as you ask me to be your wife.
