#AnticipatingLove

As I stand here
Flower in hand
Sweaty palms, I want to hide pocket deep
Lower lip quivering
Eyes fixed on the hummingbird
Perched on the wire
As it chitters your name

As I stand here
Awaiting your 'Yes'
Might I also contemplate your 'No'?
Might I imagine that our stars
Are not aligned?
Or may I dare to imagine
Three children
A mansion in its prime
And you
You standing with me
As I stand with you.
