• My emotions are too intense to describe;
    I could never explain the way I feel,
    I've forgotten how to breathe as he takes my hand,
    And before me, begins to kneel.

    I gaze into his hopeful eyes
    And feel his gentle grasp,
    Time was held still all around,
    Yet an eternity seemed to elapse.

    Although he barely whispered the words,
    In a delicate, loving voice,
    They landed on my ears like a thunderstorm,
    That ceases to await my choice.

    I hated putting you in suspense,
    But I lost ability to speak,
    My heart had stopped altogether,
    A tear rolled down my cheek.

    I reached out and caressed his lovely face,
    My decision I'd never second-guess,
    Loving him so much it hurt,
    I uttered my fateful, "Yes."
