HE SAID NO

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.
