She knew from the day she saw him
That he wanted her
What she doesn't know was his motive
Was he one of those conquest seeking guys
Was he the serious type one can plan a future with?
She believed herself to be a good judge of character
When the time comes, she will deal
They live in the same estate
They are members of the same social club
She didn't get it
This guy liked her
She liked the guy
She deliberately made herself approachable
He didn't take any of her hints and cues
For two years
The harder she tried
The more frustrated she became
Curiously, he didn't date any other girl
He hanged around her, walked her home
He protected her interests, always aligned with her
That was it
He came to her flat with some folks one day
She was in a shower
They left
The next day they met
She got home and saw an unsigned note
''I wish I was in that shower with you
I would have seen
And not have to imagine
Wonders unlocked with glee
Tantalizing my innate desire
To break the dam of pleasure
I would have seen the curves, the slants
Of nature’s crowning glory
I would have seen you
Occupier of my thoughts
I wish I was in the room with you
Watching you wear your laid out attire
I would have seen the method behind the magic
Which do you wear first?
How do you wear it?
Do you sing while you dress?
Look at the mirror?
Wink at yourself?
Smile...
Do you even remember or think of me?
I wish I laid right there beside you
As you read this message
With a smile on your face
Getting warm in your heart
Getting all knotted up in the belly
As you hear my voice like a whisper
Caressing your special spots
Questioning your defenses
Asking you to open, open and let me in
Here I am
Waiting on the night to sing
A song in silence to rhapsodic reawakening
Of the sensations of blissful wonder
Within the core of the one I desire
Probing, pleading and asking
Be my wife,
All I have to offer for now
Are words and promises of a great tomorrow
Be my future
She danced for joy
They had practically been courting for two years
He needn't even bring a ring
She had always loved him
She resisted the urge to call him
She went to his house the next day
She said: 'I will be your wife, I will be your future'
His eyes lit up
He hooted!!!
Wedding plans began in earnest
A young man walked up to her
Young man: I came to your house once with so and so
You were in the shower and we were in a hurry
I came back that evening
I wrote you a poem
I dropped it
Did you get it?
She looked at the young man and started laughing
Her fiance came
What's funny
She: ''The day I said I will be your wife, I will be your future'' was I the one proposing to you?
He: ''Yes, I was going to but i was saving the money for the right ring''
She: Say a big thank you to this young man, his poem made me propose to you
Today they have the poem
Framed and positioned
On their picture wall
Right in the middle of other great events
They care to tell whoever has ears
The story of the young man
Who wrote a poem to woo a lady
A poem the lady read and promptly proposed to the love of her life
