Why I Stay


You asked me why I stay.
You asked me why I went after you,
after all the things you’ve done.

One day,
after the marathon of play,
after my birthday,
after the breakfast that we made.

You took me in your arms,
we danced in the kitchen,
across the floor we laughed.

In that moment, I felt it,
the perfect harmony,
even though both of my feet were left,
the world was right.

In that moment,
my past melted away,
my future looked clear.

After all my years on this planet,
I knew,
I knew my heart, my hands, my eyes,
were all locked on my future.

My destiny, my life, my love,
my protector, my equal,
my oracle, my truth.

It was in that moment,
I was certain,
I knew that I would propose to you,
And that you would say yes.

That someday, I would marry you.
