Memories

Remember...
That time we walked along the beach,
you got sand in my shoe, then
a crab attached itself to your jeans
and pinched your ankle?

I'll never forget it.

You took my hand,
then you sat me down, and told me
you loved me more than anything,
and all I did was sit and smile,
without saying a word.

I couldn't.

You stole my breath,
along with my heart, when you told me
you needed me more than oxygen,
that you'd look after me, and make me as
happy as I made you.

I got it back.

The breath you stole,
with your tender words, your touch.
Your love shone through your eyes.
I knew you were true, and
I loved you too.

So I told you.

Your heart is my sky,
your arms are my home, my escape from
everything. The day I met you,
I knew I'd never find anyone as special.
You are my soul mate.

And then you asked.

You asked that question.
The one that every girl who walks on earth
hopes and prays to hear.
You asked me as the sun set.
You smiled.

You knew my answer.
It was one simple word.
You hoped you knew it,
I prayed you knew it,
and you did.

Yes.
