He said yes
and my heart burst
and it should have been the forth of July
because all i felt was fireworks
he said yes
and time expand for him and i
and for once in my life
i protested to cry
he said yes
and the joys of my yesterdays
were replaced with songs of love
and chants of everything will be okay
he said yes
and i was open to this new world
full of mystery hope and
laughter
he said yes
forgiven was all i can muster to exclaim
he said yes to a chance
for making him happy again
he said yes
and that became my favorite verb
my vocabulary forgone to
a new start
he said yes
and i understood what i put him through
but he said yes
and i knew that meant "I love you"
and i love you more baby
i made mistakes
and it takes a woman to admit
but a man to forgive
thank you
