To my precious Prince,
Do you still remember the very first time we met? It was on a street side, with the night lamps shining upon us. Back then, we were strangers, never really knowing each other. Who would have thought that, that very night would be the beginning of a rare love story? Did you also fall from that smile? I'm asking you because I did and I've been asking myself for a hundred times why, of all people, did I chose you?
I've always dreamed of a sweet guy bringing flowers to me, but you never did. I wanted to have a man who will sing beautiful lullabies before I sleep, but you were a tone-deaf. I have always pictured a guy who will share a photo with us together with a sweet perfect English caption and posting it on Facebook, but your grammar still needs some improvement and you never liked taking selfies with me. It has always been my fantasy to have a guy who would go with me under the rain , but you always hate getting cold and wet. I visioned about someone going on a trip with me but you disliked driving or getting on a bus.
You have never taken me into any fancy dates unlike other guys. You would just dropped by at the house, say "Hi!" and "Goodbye!" at the same time. No video calls, no phone calls, no messages. I've even waited for them but I received none that I felt depressed. I always longed for you but you seem getting farther away. It made me sad.
But you took me by surprise when you invited me in a dinner. It wasn't the dinner I expected, where candle lights would surround us with instrumental love songs playing on the background. Instead, it was just a plain barbecue party with our close friends. It wasn't the perfect date for us but you made it perfect when you knelt in front of me and said, "Let's stop dating." I remembered myself being stood frozen by your words.
'You're not breaking up with me, right?' I wanted to ask but my lips couldn't. My eyes just watered but you just smile. "Let's get married instead!" You pulled out a ring and that's when my tears flowed down like a river to my cheeks. "I've been saving up until now for our grand day. Forgive me if I wasn't able to pay much attention to you. I've been planning for my future and I want you to be a lifetime part of it. It would be you and me together. So marry me, will you? "
I have clearly remembered all the words you've said that night, in front of our friends. Forgive me if I wasn't able to respond to you that night right away as I fainted out of joy and excitement. This is why I'm writing to you, to let you know of my answer. "It's a yes!"
Lovingly yours,
Princess
