To have and to hold

We met at the shop.
I was working as usual.
It was a slow day but then you walked in.
I always thought people like you were rude and arrogant.
That you're too good for anyone.
But you tripped and I went to catch you,
Our lips met and it was amazing.

It scared me beyond belief and I fled the scene quickly.
I didn't want to be in love.

You kept coming back to the store and it scared me.
I didn't know what you were thinking all those times.

But you came back with a card, it said

We only get one chance to make this right, and I don't know about you but you never leave my mind. I just want to love you. Will you be mine, to have and to hold.

Will you marry me?
