The Proposal

The night seemed odd,
and I became scared
when he called.
I knew something
was to happen --
I could sense it in his voice.

In the twilight
of that beautiful evening
I was still frightened
that something was wrong

When he came
to my door,
he saw the dread
on my face,
and whispered,
"Everything will be just great.
You shall see."

In the surprise of it all
he proposed,
under the street light
in front of my house.

He asked me to
marry him.
I was elated
and dumbfounded
at the same time.

What joy is this,
especially when
I thought my Love
would end it all,
on this scary night
of all hollow's eve.

Instead my life
was changing forever
and ever.
