I awake with the rising of the sun
My focus is true
Nervous and giddy
Are the feelings that erupt
No timid flare-up mind you
But a long and loud barrage of thunder smashing
And crashing high in the heavens
As I realize the storm that draws near
Is not in the sky
But in my Heart and Soul
Trying to break out and scream
The words you await to hear

But I ask that you please understand
That this is no easy task
It takes some spunk and nerve for me to admit
The bottom line in this relationship
The very essence of our core
Begs that I rally my resolve
And speak my thoughts
I need not sensitivity
But compassionate eyes
And affectionate ears
As I whisper
What you want to hear

I ask your forgiveness
I beg your pardon
Over my male ignorance
I ask that you exonerate me of my stupidity
And make amends with this fool
Who is only silly and unquestionably
In love with you even before the day that I said

I DO!
