'A rose for you
My love my dear'
Is what he whispered
In my ear
As velvety petals
Caressed my fingers
And on lips
His kiss did linger
When I sat down
He held my hands
In his t-shirt and jeans
In my dress so bland
And down on one knee
Just swift as a fox
He got from behind
His back a box
He said that he loved me
And to my surprise
I could see tears
Building up in his eyes
But he blinked them away
And asked simply 'Will you?'
I leaned over and said
'You know that I do'
He slipped on the ring
Which in the candlelight glimmered
The diamond just shined
The band just shimmered
I laughed when he picked me
Up in the air
And spun me around
Like we had no care
We laid on the couch
And our eyes did close
To the dreams of how this happened
With a simple rose
