The Little Box

The lights are dimmed down for the atmosphere
The romantic mood is heightened this year
A candlelight dinner, a table for two
A rose in a glass is glistening with dew

Two years together, still madly in love
Still see each other as gifts from above
He kisses her gently and pulls out her chair
Doing his best to show her he cares

He brings out dinner, a magnificent sight
Pasta and wine bathed in flickering light
They clink their glasses, an amorous toast
He's enjoying his role of the perfect host

They finish dessert, a dark gateau cake
It had taken him hours to perfect and bake
She smiled, thanked him with a tender embrace
With a loving smile spread across her face

They retired to the sofa, happy with bliss
Laughing and talking and sharing a kiss
He ran his fingers though her glossy locks
Before reaching behind her to pull out a box

He opened the box as her eyes opened wide
A shining pink Topaz was gleaming inside
A heart shaped rock with diamonds around
She gasped as he dropped one knee on the ground

When he asked the question, she screamed out "Yes!"
Threw herself at him and cried on his chest
Ecstatic tears at becoming his wife
All it took was a box to change their whole life
