Visiting me was your habit,
Once,
At the riverside in the night,
We went sleepless.
You kissed my bare shoulders
The moon was shining
And justifying our love for each other
The riverside was dazzling with
The light of moon,
You slowly moved your fingers down my hand,
I gasped at the moment
When you bent on one knee
And kissed my palm,
You looked into my eyes from under your thick eyelashes,
"Hey love! You know I am not good with words unlike you."
I giggled at that. He then continued,
"Will you give me the honor, to take care of you cherish you and spoil you by giving up your surname for me?"
My heart welded and I just couldn't smile at you
I cried and jumped on you and kissed you saying 'Yes'
This is the moment I dreaded the most even after the 25 years we have spent together.
