The One

Missing image

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

  

Author notes

I wrote this as a fond remembrance of when I proposed...and actually the mere split second for her answer! Oh, she said, "Yes!"

Prompt 3.
This Song:

I wont' rush you heart. Till you feel on solid ground.
Just ask it will be done. I will prove my love,
Till your sure I'm the one...

THE ONE by Gary Allan

    Congratulations on your gold!

    This poem moved me. So much love embedded between the lines. Wish you a lifetime of happiness with your loved one. Liked "I nurtured your heart, devoted my love tearing the wall down a brick at a time". Not many of you ...

    Aaaaaaaw! How romantic!

    This may be the most romantically touching poem I've read yet. What a treasure! God bless you both and your marriage. I'm smiling in my heart and on my face. It's good to know that men like you still exist.

    This was such a beautiful and well written poem. I can really relate to it too, seemly I just a few months ago became engaged. It took me back to how I felt, the nervouseness, yet pure excitement. Wondering what all would happen if I said yes and just how much I wanted to be his wife in the future Just out of curiousity how did you propose?
  • This is a really good write. You can tell it comes from the heart. really awesome.
    good luck in the contest

  • I know this well...This not only touched every piece of my heart that there is. I laughed and cryed at the same time.


    It was a moment, well many moments, that are embraced in heart and mind.
    I would be a fool if this beautiful loving verse didnt go to my finals.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



    You are and always will be The One...
    Thanks for your care of my heart.






    Thanks for my life
    Hugs
