The Proposal Of A Lifetime

By Ananya Manglik

The first time I met you,

I knew you’d fit.

Even now, every time I look at you,

I know, for me, you are it.

I swear to never push you away when things get crazy,

I promise I’m not going anywhere.

I swear to love you as my equal,

Because with you, it’s like I’m walking on air.

I can't believe it’s true sometimes,

That I am yours and you are mine,

Because darling, you are my everything,

And nothing else matters, because with you I shine.

The world can go up in flames,

Just as long as we are together.

I will be your wings,

Just as long as you are my tether.

I swear to lend you my strength,

And always stand by you when the worlds divide.

I will follow you through hell,

Because everything will be worth it if I have you by my side.

I will say it over and over;

Shout it from the rooftops,

And whisper it only for you to hear,

Because, darling, I am catastrophically in love with you.
