Yes I Will

The skies were still blue

And the birds were all flying free

The yellow sun dazzled a smile

Shining down on both you and me

Joy seemed to be the only subject

Madness anyway was taking its toll

The incomplete tome ceased to exist

As you and me came together as whole

We walked along the desert of joy

From strangers to companions for life

Without letting me know of it

You helped me let go of the strife

Rockbottom was what I knew

And then I loaded it with more nonsensical crap

You made me take a forever stance

Together we gave the past a perfect wrap

Even the times when I was away

With every breath I sensed your smell

Although miles separated us

You caught me when I slipped and fell

You put an end to every ugly memoir

Removed the flag from the past's crack

You held my face in your palms

Never letting me once look back

Days after days of sharing life

Every puzzle began to fall in place

Slowly, gently holding my hands

You walked with me out of the maze

You didn't try to infuse colors

In my practical life of black and white

You just blended into my pale saga

Never letting go and holding on tight

The life we see now is magical

You freed me of my anger and the pain

You made me win the battle against myself

And did not let my struggles go in vain

I don't know when I fell in love

It was so magical that I couldn't stop to think

Coming to think of it now

I guess I fell for you in the first blink

When you asked me to marry you

Holding a ring in the pleasant summer chill

There was not much to say

Apart from a happy "Yes, I will"
