I did it.
Yes, I finally did it.
I broke the rules from all then rul books.
I took a leap of faith.
I allowed someone to get past my heart to my soul.
I took the jump into reality or so I thought.
I let the real me show, looked dep into his eyes, and with the deepest part of me did the thing I said I’d never do.
Held my heart in my hand and offered it saying. “I love you, will you marry me?”
Taking a few moments to settle in and a few moments for me to drop the subject the answer came.
He said no.
I could not believe it. I, who spent the past seven year by his side.
I who stood by and was supportive through him improving his education.
I who rearranged my life, moved over a thousand miles to be by his side.
I, whose name is on the mortgage beside his.
But he said no.
He said no.
so what am I to do now.
You see I’m a lover and a fighter.
So every morning when he leaves for work I look into those blue eyes and say I love you. I want to grow old with you. You are my life partner. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you, and you know what he doesn’t say no anymore. He just says I love you.
