This is an oldie for me, but I think it is one of my better pieces.

The Time Has Come

As I sit here watching you sleep
With a look so peaceful on your face
My heart is filled with amazement
As I look back at how we got to this place
You say you’ll always love me
And I can feel that when we touch
It’s a promise that I’ve longed for
One we both wanted so much
So many miles between us
Our hearts only moments apart
This love we’ve found is meant to be
We knew that from the start
We were both once just a name
Two lonely hearts behind a screen
Two hearts that fate brought together
‘Cause we dared chase a dream
Together we drank from cupid’s cup
And tasted love so sweet
Everything I have I give to you
I’ve placed it at your feet
For in my heart I know I’ve found
A love we were meant to share
And you were there all along
Just waiting for me there
So now I watch you sleeping
And I wait for you to wake
As I try to gather courage
For this chance I am About to take
The time has come for me to ask
That you become my wife
To wake with me each morning
To share the rest of my life

it may be an oldie but it is a goodie. I'm glad there is still a place for romance in the world and I hope there's a place for romance in the book.
