She hung in the air. Always had been. She was there at the breakfast table, between the simmering pans on the stove. When the vacation was picked, during the setting sun. She was always there, like a wine waiting to mature until the right moment would come.

The question of questions. It shot out of your mouth. By accident. Or you've been mulling over it for a very long time; how and when you would ask that one question to your sweetheart. And now it's almost here. The "YES" you feel when you look into each other's eyes, that is always there without words, may be spoken aloud and recorded.

I look forward to creating a portrait with my love of language and poetry. An apt reflection in words, of and for you. To make that unforgettable day even more sparkling for you.

And now for my question...
May I marry you?
