The Moment I Said Yes






The Moment I Said Yes

estefaaano_writes 


-  

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

    The line "No hesitation nor reasons to rue / Just a joy I can't express" !!???? perfectly captures that feeling of absolute certainty.
