The Proposal

Creating magic is simple when you aren’t baring your truth

I remember writing beautiful compositions of fiction with a splash of me

I’ve often hidden behind my own fallacies

Unprepared to share the most vulnerable places of me

Sprinting into distant dispositions

Unwavering in stubbornness

Like a angel you arrived

Tilted off my pallet I was exposed

You unselfishly and deliberately loved me

Even when I questioned how deserving I could be

You were always deserving of the best of me 

Many vivid conversations behind guarded gates

Implicitly I sat with myself

Checked in with reality

I could never prepare my heart to receive

You without me

I could never let you be a memory

It’s been five years

How couldn’t I honor the queen I see

You said family... you said forever... you said you were sure

Alexis clarified with the gracious comfort of making you a priority

It was always easier for me to leave

It was always easy for me to deny 

It was always easy for me...

Or so I claimed

I once wrote the following words for you

Now I share them with those closest to you

Because only a fool would fail to enhance your pedestal

So if I may

I verbally prepare to repeat

Accept me

Accept my flaws

Accept my love

Accept our future

If a Mrs is your need

I’ll match your desire

I’ll walk down any isle

Marry you before any crowd

I loved you then

I love you now

I’ll love you forever

Build a home

With me

With us

For forever.
