Four Simple Words

He reaches in his pocket
And gets down on his knee
He says four simple words
"Will you marry me?"

Your hand flies to your mouth
You try to stop the tears
He's talked about it forever
The moments finally here

You cannot speak right now
Because you cannot breathe
The wind seems to speak his name
It echoes off the trees

"Yes," you say
When you take a gasping breath
You move your hand toward the ring
The other to your chest

He slips the unending band of gold
On to your shaking hand
Your knees begin to fail
As he rises up to stand

He holds you close and hugs you tight
And kisses your sweet face
You fold into his arms
This is now YOUR place...
