A Written Proposal

I am rather shy you know;
Words come hard for me.
So, I am sending this to you;
Perhaps so you will see.

Know how much I love you;
More than I can say.
I'm hoping this will tell you;
In a different sort of way.

You mean all the world to me;
You make my life worth living.
You're such a special person;
Always caring, always giving.

We get along so beautifully;
Whenever we're together.
The sun shines on us every day;
No matter what the weather.

You make me smile all the time;
Our togetherness seems so right.
Whenever I am with you;
Nothing else is in my sight.

If only you could see me now;
I am down on bended knee.
Asking you with all my love;
"Will you please marry me?"

Yes, I want to marry you;
And take you for my wife;
Please say "yes" my sweetness;
And we will be as one for life!
