The look in your eye alone tells me
that you've clearly made up your mind
We can't return to any yesterdays
for even a moment is left behind
You've been weighing your decision
You can't rebuild what I've undone
I quietly await your answer
two choices, I pray the right one
When we met, you were so fragile
patience was a definite must
Falling in love with you was so easy
but I knew I had to earn your trust
No pressure, no rushing your heart
to relearn love you must do
If I attempted to force my way
without question: I would lose you
I nurtured your heart, devoted my love
tearing the wall down a brick at a time
You shake when I hold you, not in fear
but with feelings so intensely sublime
Before us is the future unwritten
lines merely drawn in sand, not stone
Our hearts, beating aloud in rhythm
Neither desire to live life alone
Trembling as your mouth opens to speak
Eyes wet with tears, quiet response
Nodding your head in that way that you do
pulling my heart through my chest at once
If your decision is as I believe it to be
then I'll be the happiest man under the sun
To be your love forever...lifetime
I'm praying you say yes, I am the one
