Proposal

My lips are cooled
As sweat drips from mine forehead.
I sneak a look into thine eyes
And am held as breath
Is held for awe of thee.

Outside I walk
As rain pours on our embrace
And a smile widens on thy face.
Love overtakes me
As every thought of thee.

Blessed God be
As my prayers he's answered me
By sending an angel to earth
To fill all mine heart
With love returned by thee.

And fantasy
With your kisses fall on me
Has filled up mine reality
And "Yes" has answered
For I shall marry thee.
