"Is this enough? My heart. Is it enough for you?"
Silence took over and he just stared. So i continued
"I know the life I choose to live is different from yours but i want this to work. I want us to work. My heart is what i can give, its what I’m willing to give you. Who I am, my soul is I want you to get to know. My mind wants intelligent and stupid conversation with you. My heart, soul and mind is what I’m offering you and have offered it to the others before you who wanted the same thing as you do now, relationship. But my body, that is for one, the one. The one who will get down on one knee and ask for my hand in marriage. The one who will put a ring on my finger and commit his life to me in front of all those we love. The one who will stay through the good, the bad and the ugly. The one who will say and promise these things but actually follow through. Then he'll get to have me completely mind, body, heart and soul. Have a claim on in a way no one else will ever have. And he'll honor that. And I will be honored to give that only to him. So is this enough?"
He exhaled a breath.
"Yes. Its more than enough and when I get down on one knee, ask for your hand in marriage which of course you'll say yes and marry you in front of everyone we love and the others we tolerate i will love, cherish and honor all of you. Mind, body, heart and soul for the rest of my life"
I smiled. Blissfully speechless not expecting that at all. Then he spoke again
"But until then i plan on keeping that heart of yours with me and happy with our intelligent and stupid conversations getting to know you down to your soul. Our forever starts today."
