Let's Get Married
"Let's get married," you say over the phone.
I freeze, not knowing what to say.
It's in this moment I realize how much we've grown.
I think of your words all day.
"Let's get married," you say over video chat.
I smile, but you're just so far.
Still, whenever I look at you, my stomach flips like an acrobat.
In the darkness of the night sky, you're the brightest star.
"Let's get married," I say through my tears.
I realize now there's no one else I want to grow old with.
I realize I'm at my best with you, and with you I'll spend a billion years.
What they say about first loves not working, let's prove it a myth.
