The Proposal

At the beach,

During an aesthetic sunset

We stood hand in hand

And he turned to me,

He gazed into my eyes

Then kissed me on my forehead,

I skipped a breath

When he got down on one knee.

My heart was pounding

And eyes were teary.

The sky became vibrant

And happy was the sea,

After a lot of stammer and

With a bit of hesitation,

I asked him if it was a dream

Or had he truly asked me The Question,

Then he held my hand, opened a box and

Revealed the Ring.

I could hear me squeak

As I replied with a Yes

And the tears trickled down my cheeks.
