On Bended Knee

  

As I kneel before you

I look around and think

to seventeen years back

when we stood against the world

not listening to the gossip and talk.

When people are jealous

they can be cruel,

we just stuck to our guns

knowing it was right.

 

I breathe a sigh

and think of those nights

looking up to the stars

talking about how they are

very much like our dreams,

far off in the distance

but how we could still can see them.

 

Now I on my knee before you

with this beautiful bouquet

to show you how much you mean to me.

I stare into a dark gray tombstone

now facing the world alone

with the only dreams left

being memories of you.

Sad yet beautiful. I was expecting a proposal type ending, but this, it just tears at the heart strings.
