The Proposal (Act Two) Poem by Matt Mondschein

The proposal,
just gentle words
on paper with pen,
softly spoken
swept away with the wind
A moment in time
my heart, rhyming,
expressing it's desire
for you to be mine
Has that time passed
gone as if a fading dream
was the reality of a family
much more than it seamed
Questions that echo
replied by the answer of tears
never knowing, love,
will soon drown me, I fear
So I pass my time
on the edge of a memory
back to a not so distant we,
where times weren't always perfect, but
I knew you loved me
Now...
Grasping to hope
though I'm gripped by despair
I'm searching for a part of your heart
for me, that still cares
Always and forever
till there is no time
we will be together
if only in mind
but
with or without you
I'll get on with my life
but I'm begging God to bless me
please be my wife
