Still Falling

A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update! But hey i'm finally posting this little drabble thats been in my drafts for months! This is inspired by the song 'Still Falling' by Hunter Hayes. I hope you enjoy!

...

After all this time you'd think I'd be used to the pull of your gravity

After flying for so high for so long

Who would think I'm still learning

Still burning

Still falling

You've been together for six years, yet somehow everything Elise does still amazes you. It's the little things that get to you the most. Like how she always takes a small sip of her coffee in the morning right after pouring it, even though she knows it's scalding hot and will burn her mouth. And how she smiles at you every time she catches you staring at her. God, her smile. It's your favorite thing in the world, tied only with her laugh. You love it more than music, and that's saying something.

You know she's the one, simply because you never get bored of her. You always want to be in her presence, and every moment you can touch her you do. You're the annoying couple that holds hands in their own home, and you love it. You love it, and you love her with every fiber of your being. You're still falling in love with her, and you know you'll never stop. That's why, when you call your grandmother and ask her for that ring she's offered to you when you first introduced her to Elise, a huge smile appears on your face.

It sounds totally cliche, but you propose on the beach. You coax her into joining you to watch the sunset. The waves lap at your toes as you stand in an embrace, watching the sun get lower and lower in the sky. Just as it reaches the horizon, you slowly withdraw yourself from her tight hold and she looks at you to see what you're doing. With your eyes locked on each other's, you sink down to one knee and carefully pull the ring box out of your pocket and open it. She gasps, and you see tears in her eyes as her hand comes up to cover her mouth. You smile, because when you had dreamed about this moment, she had the exact same reaction.

You pour your heart out. Every feeling you have for her encompassed in you comes out in that moment, and soon you're both crying like babies. After your soul is laid out for her to see, you use the strength that she gives you to choke out a quiet "Will you marry me?" And you cry even harder when she whispers "Yes."

And like always, you fall even more in love with her.
