The Proposal

Inspired by "Slow Motion" by Karina Pasian

This will be the most nervous thing I will ever do in my entire life.
But thinking of you and how I breathe you lets me know what I’m doing is right.
It’s true I’m scared my heart skips a beat every time I sit and I think about it,
Me down on one knee, you looking at me as I open a box to reveal inside it

I imagine as the tears fall down your cheek; you have waited for this moment to arrive.
And with the touch of your fingers upon my chin, my tears starts falling and they won't subside.
When you love someone deeply, as I love you, and a moment like this indescribable truth
Makes life worth living that’s why I'm willing to commit my life to you.

And this won’t be easy you living life with me, I’m complex in ways that may have you hate me
And you may say some things, and I know that you’re tryin, to get under my skin but of course you’ll deny it.
The joy that I get from just knowing all this, speaks highly of my decision
To have and to hold, until death do us part are my devout intentions.

This will be the most nervous thing I will ever do in my entire life.
But thinking of you and how I breathe you lets me know what I’m doing is right.

And now I'm standing here before you and my heart begins to flutter.
I hope you can’t tell, I'm nervous as hell- my palms are just like butter.
I went over and over inside my head of how I planned to do this,
All those perfect ideas rehearsed over time, and now it's time to do this…

There you stand before me and I feel unease it wasn’t nervousness or panic,
I was like a little boy confronting my first crush I was definitely shy I’ll admit it.
They make this look so easy in the romantic movies the boy proposing to the girl,
But what people don’t see is the boy’s inner being tossing around in turmoil.

This will be the most nervous thing I will ever do in my entire life.
But thinking of you and how I breathe you lets me know what I’m doing is right.
It’s true I’m scared my heart skips a beat every time I sit and I think about it,
Me down on one knee, you looking at me as I open a box to reveal inside it

I’m dropping to my right knee and I see your face start lighting up instantly,
Breathe okay breathe, you know you got this, yeah, I know I'm ready
I reach for your left hand and I'm shaking as I take off your leather glove
The tears in your eyes start to fall and I say “I’m doing this because of love”

This ring I present to you, please take it with my hopes of you saying I do,
I wanna spend my whole life with you, loving and caring and providing for you.
I wanna cherish both the good times and the bad, and experience all the things we never had.
I wanna make a house a home with us committed forever, so tell me baby can we forever be together?
