“Each day my thoughts are seldom far from you
And living has become a joy. I know
That I will always love you, my heart soothed
By every time you say ‘I love you so.’
I am consumed with longing for the day
That I can say ‘I do,’ so now although
My lips seem so courageous, this I feign
Because what I will ask you is so dear,
So please forgive me if I stutter when I say
That I would live a thousand lifetimes with you here
Beside me. Let us go then you and I*
To a life of happiness beyond compare.
I’ve waited for this moment all my life:
So will you marry me and be my wife?”
*This line is taken from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T. S. Eliot.
