The Proposal

I Planned for long to throw you off guard
Trying not to reveal it long and hard
I had been waiting for that day for a while
The wait that had always seemed like a mile

I searched everywhere to get the perfect ring
For a one that stuns you, and gives you wings
It did cost me a favour, Oh yes it did
But that is nothing in front of the secret it hid

I reharsed my lines not twice but thrice
everytime I felt they could be better, more nice
I wrote them down, I talked in my sleep
I tried to load them with praises in heap
And I wanted them to sound deep

I rummaged the town for the best suit ever
For something that would show me as ‘Handsome Forever’
Neither could I get one not get another to borrow
Let us not talk about that tale of sorrow

So the D-Day arrived, sunny and bright
and there we were, together that lovely night
Candles so dim, and the smoky red wine
and the beautiful you in front of me, all divine.

I couldn’t feel my knees when i raised the toast
All nerves, blabbering and splurging, I was not the perfect host
A hundred times faster i felt my heart beat
Boy. For sure I was feeling the heat.

One touch of your fingers put them all away
You smiled and it was so full of mirth and gay
You hair gently twitched and put my heart at bay
I went down my knees, looked into your eyes and told you all I wanted to say

“My Love, You’ve been there for me, through thick and thin,
We have been together, and We’ve been a win
I’m sure you know my every fault and my every virtue
But I also wanted to know, that I Love you too
I bet I can keep you happier than Ever
And I Know we will be the best couple Forever
Oh this moment, right now, I’ve dreamt it all as alchemy
My Sweetheart, Will you Marry Me ? “
