The Moment I Said Yes

Sunset at the lighthouse,

Waves kissing moss-covered rocks,

Your words washing over me:

Will you be mine or not

Never been asked before,

Breath caught in my chest.

The glow of sun on your face,

No thought, I said... yes

We raced along cliff side roads,

Wind whipping wild and free.

You revealed a ring so grand

With my favorite sapphire now graced

We drove with laughter down to Manila

Ready to welcome the new year

Met strangers who by midnight were familia

The night delivered wonder and cheer

We crashed a restaurant, got pulled on stage

Before a band I'd never heard

We danced with drinks that blurred night and day

Nearly missing fireworks we inferred

That Batanes sunset and each day since then

We’ve built something truly sublime

Thanks to your surprise way back when

And my leap to say "yes" in good time
