Held Breath
In the Rain, Stars AlignCountless of nights of reluctant sleep
Hours of internet messages
Cups of sugar and baking soda spilled
Minutes on a Spotify Playlist
Say yes?
Two dust bunnies inhaled
Four markers used dry
Three hours of brainstorming
One tablespoon of food dye
Say yes?
Countless inside jokes
Four years of memories
Weeks of deliberation
Five people who tease
Say yes?
Two orders of pillows because you couldn't decide
Only two months left
A friendly rivalry that only strengthened
One last test
Say yes?
One day of "once in a lifetime"
Weeks of searching for the dress
Two lungs to expand in anxiety
Three minutes to confess
Say yes?
He said yes.
