How and why we fell apart,

I am not sure.

I always thought we had something pure.

I was so proud to be by your side.

In you, I knew I could confide.

Most people never got to experience

what we had.

None had been fortunate enough.

Though, some of the times were tough,

but it made us strong

and it didn’t take long.

Afterwards we always ended up

singing a song.

Funny I know,

but that is just how we were.

I never knew for sure

what caused us to go

from happy to sad

in the blink of an eye,

and what we had

came to nothing,

and not as important anymore.

I just one day got up

and walked out the door.

I was numb

and could not even hum.

With my happiness gone

I found that I could no longer sing.

I left you sitting

on the bed all alone.

Your head dropped in despair,

but what you didn’t know is,

that I cried all the way to my car.

It didn’t seem fair.

A relationship busted up

for little or nothing.

Okay, I am going to say it – I thought.

“I miss you and I still love you.”

“I want to spend my days and nights with you.”

“I want to make mad passionate love to you.”

“I miss what we used to be.”

“Remember when we planted a tree?”

It is now as high as the sky.

It is the little things like that -

that I remember the most.

Since we have been apart

I have been from pillar to post,

not living in one spot,

just going to different places

and occupying space.

I am tired of living like that,

I want a place to call mine.

Don’t you think it’s about time?

I want to be with you

with every breath in me.

Hopefully you can see

where I am coming from.

Will you allow me to be

a permanent fixture in your life?

Will you allow me to someday live as your wife?
