The proposal

Together as a couple on the beach
All their dreams within their reach
They stroll along the shore hand in hand
Surrounded by the sea, stars and sand
He whispers softly in her ear
Romantic poems she longs to hear
After a while they stop for a rest
And she nestles her head into his chest
So secure in his strong masculine arms
Getting lost in his foreign charms
She can't help but notice his big brown eyes
So tender and loving they hypnotize
Gently she caresses his coffee coloured skin
Her touch, so warm, he melts within
As one they share a moment of bliss
A heavenly, passionate, lingering kiss
Together they watch the august sunset
This will be a night they never forget
They slow dance to the sound of the sea
Then he gets down upon one knee
He stares into her eyes of emerald green
The most beautiful thing he has ever seen
His heart skips a beat as it takes a leap
"Will you marry me?" he asks in his voice so deep
Her heart speaks before her mind has time to think it through
"Yes my darling, I will marry you!"
Tears of happiness running down her chin
Leaving a glittery trail upon her skin
