My heart beats fast

I hold my breath

For I hope today

It happens

The doorbell rings

My friend opens and greets

My date

We leave together

Hand in hand

My heart is swelling

He looks uncomfortable

Was it something I did?

Did I do something wrong?

During the movie that he picked

A romance, which is weird

His hand stays in his pocket

Holding in my unshed tears

He gets down on one knee

And grabs my left hand

In the middle of the lobby

With couples and little kids staring

He whispers gently

"Will you marry me?"

Too stunned to speak

I nod and he slips the ring

Onto my finger

Standing up, he kisses me

And I am truly happy.
