A Future Story

I don’t know where we go on our first date,

Or why I say yes in the first place,

Or how I ask to do it again.

But I do because I think you are special.  

I don’t know why I am so nervous around you

Or how your voice makes me smile,

Or what I say that makes you laugh.

But I think it’s because you are special.

I don’t know when we share our first kiss,

Or how I find your hand crossed with mine,

Or what I did to deserve either of the two. 

But I think this moment is special. 

I don’t know when you become my best friend,

Or why I am so open with you

Or how you bear my burdens with your own. 

But I think it’s because I love you.

I don’t know what you see in me,

Or how you accept me with my flaws

Or why I can’t imagine life without you. 

But I think it’s because I love you. 

I don’t know how I surprise you,

Or where I drop to my knee,

Or what your answer is.

But I know I do it anyway,

Because I love you.
