Proposal

Take it if you will

Take it if you can

Or refuse it

I will understand

It's just some flowers

My family just moved in around the corner

Will you be my friend

I touched her on the shoulder

She was fourteen I was barely older

Take it if you will

Take it if you can

Or refuse it

I will understand

It's just a key

My parents are going away for the weekend

Will you stay with me

It felt my body trembling

High school days were nearly at an end then

Time was a blur of emotions

Spinning so fast

And time was a rocket engine

With no end and no beginning

But all time stopped when she said, "Yes"

Take it if you will

Take it if you can

Or refuse it

You know I'll never ask again

It's just a ring

At best it's just a symbol of everything

If I can share my life with you

Standing naked in my fear

I could not face her

Then I broke down

My arms embraced her

Take it if you will

Take it if you can

Or refuse it

That's how our lives began
