Will you be mine? by Estrella Azul

“ He felt nervous.
This has been on his mind for the last 3 weeks, if not more, and he just wanted it to be perfect, or as close to perfect as he could get.
Counting down the days his nervousness grew.

At night he was dreaming of various scenarios it would go by and all of them had some flaw he didn’t think of before and made him more worried.
More possibilities ran across his mind like if it had rained and he wasn’t ready he didn’t have anything romantic planned.
Should he take her to dinner and ask her there?
Have his friend help him and decorate the room for when they get home?
Should he do it somewhere else instead of the lake but still outdoors?
Or visit the high school where they met and do it there?

Finally Wednesday arrived, the day of their anniversary. The beauty of it was that it wasn’t a round number like 1 year, 2 years so they’d celebrate luxuriously.
She couldn’t have figured out his intentions too easily.

They made plans to take a walk by the lake and catch a movie afterwards.
His plans however were a bit different.

While prepping to go he looked at his girlfriend getting ready.

She looked beautiful!
Her long amazing hair arranged very simple reminded him of the first day he saw her, her way of applying make-up and still look sweet and natural, her semi-formal outfit were all perfect for the occasion, but he couldn’t tell her yet.

They left for the lake.
To hide the ring he told her he was bringing two phones and made sure she wouldn’t ask any questions about his pocket by making his speech very short and technical.

By the time they got to the lake he had his eye on his watch just to be sure they have enough time.
He knew he would have his work cut out for him as they went past the peer.

He asked is she wanted to go for a ride with the paddle boat.
The water was deep, she was afraid a bit, but her confidence in him made her accept.
He was now thrilled and more nervous than before.

They got into the paddle boat and paddled away, going along the edge of the lake, then when his girlfriend was comfortable with the ride he aimed the center of the lake.
There, he stopped and they enjoyed the view.
Asking her to take photos, while she turned away, he took the ring out of his pocket and waited for her to turn back.

Those few seconds passed even slower than the hole time he had spent planning the proposal.

When she turned back facing him and saw the ring:
everything made even more sense to him than before, her shock and happiness was glowing on her face, he remained speechless.

After a moment he regained his thinking and while placing the ring on her finger asked her the question they were both waiting for… for so long:

“Will you be mine?”

As she said:

“Yes!”

He realized how truly blessed he was. His happiness couldn’t even been described as they sat there hugging and kissing.

After taking her to dinner and watching a romantic movie, on the way home they stopped again for a few moments at the lake and stared into the dark waves.

He did it: managed to turn that day into one of the most perfect and romantic ones they had.

She couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful and meaningful proposal!  

In the morning after the proposal, he got this letter from his fiancée.

 

“Sweetheart!

I know how good we are together, I know how unbelievably lucky we are to have found each other, how we still love each other as much as we did in the beginning and every time we say "I love you!" we actually mean it, and that we worked out how to be together. I know how fortunate we are to both want the same things, and most importantly – each other. I know we both get crazy sometimes but ultimately we have the best thing going and I want to say: ‘I want to keep this’.

I believe that you and I will do all the things we want to do together. I believe that in a while from now we’ll have our own remodeled house, our own children (in time) and our own individual lives in many ways too. I believe that we will be our own family.
I don’t believe in big weddings, or rather, I don’t think that they’re an accurate reflection of what it’s all about. What I want is the promise, the rings on our fingers and the future. I’m delighted because this is the nicest feeling in the world: to love you so much that I want to do something apparently quite random, just because I can’t help thinking that surely there must be some big way to express the way I feel about you, and about us, and our intentions. Getting engaged and married is about choosing to be tied together just in order to be together even homeless, childless or otherwise.

I believe that I can promise to love you until the day I die. And I believe that, if we can work out together what it means to us, making a promise and a commitment to one another can only strengthen the incredible bond we already have.

So… since I believe all this can and will happen, all I have to say is: Yes, Sweetheart! :*:P

I love you, always had and always will!” :*:P

He felt good, happy and more in love with her as he would’ve imagined 3 years, 9 moths and 1 day ago.”

Valentine’s Day

I won’t write about how people came to celebrate the 14th of February as Valentine’s Day (you can find out the history behind it if you’re interested, by clicking the link). I just wanna share with you that I like it!

Not because this time of year all blogs start posting all sort of articles about how nice or bad it is (just like around any other holidays too ), not because people in relationships exchange gifts, not because people who are not in a relationship get possessed by the thought of having to spend Valentine’s Day alone and immediately start seeking someone to be with for a few days just so they won’t be judged by anyone (this is a really stupid thing, I don’t get it…), not because all the shop windows, malls and so on, are filled with tonnes of little (or even exaggeratedly big) hearts, doves, Cupids, etc., not because of how on the actual day you can’t find a parking space and you bump into more people than usually, not because of the stupid mass messages filling your screen in a few seconds saying that if you don’t send them on you’ll be alone forever (get a life!!!) and not because of how expensive everything gets almost over night…

I like it because it’s a celebration of LOVE! Anyone can celebrate it even if their single or in a relationship, celebrate with family, friends and loved ones, it’s not a written rule that it can only be celebrated by couples (that’s just a stupid excuse to don’t like it).
I think it should be considered to be another good chance to thank the people we love for being there for us, for their patience, help, kind words. Because let’s face it, nobody remembers to appreciate the people around them all the time, or too often for that matter, they mostly do it on big international holidays… so why not on Valentine’s Day too?

I’m lucky to be able to celebrate my love for and with my Sweetheart each and every day, I am grateful that even after 3 years and 2 months we still say "I love you!" each morning when we wake up, during the day, and at night before we go to sleep. We try to make any day a great day, surprise each other from time to time with and e-card, a flower, chocolate, etc. and we succeed to don’t get into a dull routine
This Valentine’s Day we got each other small but significant gifts, even though I specifically said "No flowers this year", I got a very beautiful rose from my Sweetheart, and we went to see a movie ("Bride wars", it’s great, I recommend it to anyone who likes comedies) and had dinner, and overall it really was the lovely and romantic day I was looking forward to.
Thank you for this beautiful day Sweetheart, for the presents, and for the beautiful rose I got! And also happy 3 years and 2 months anniversary too! I love you :*:P

I love…

I made a list of why I love my Sweetheart, thinking I’ll rearrange it later and show it to him then. But when I finished… it seemed wrong to edit. So here it is, as it was initially written

"I want to be with you because I love you. I love your face. I love the way you smell. I love the way you love me. I love your beautiful eyes and the way you look at me… I love how affectionate you are, how silly and cute you are. I love your big warm arms and the way you hug me. I love how you never try too hard, you just are who you are. I love your confidence, how you hold yourself. I love the cute way you pick out such nice clothes then have no idea which things to wear together. I love how you ask for my advice. I love how you change gear for different people. I love how you are charming with women you don’t know well. I love when you are polite and I smile at you and you look at me as if to say, "what?". I love how you do whatever you want and never feel guilty for it. I love how you take care of your family, go to see them and it hurts that they don’t always understand you, and what you want. They don’t always know how to appreciate how great you are…

I love how you sometimes state the obvious and don’t even realize you are doing it, then when I point it out to you and laugh, you don’t get why I am laughing and continue to ask me if I have noticed whatever obvious thing you were pointing out to me in the first place. I love your laugh. I love how you try to show your love for me, always with slightly-off-the-mark, big gestures. I love how you encourage me and support me and are proud of me. I love even the stupid things you says to me, the silly names we have for things. I love the way you love the people you love. I love how everything is simple for you. I love how you are fearless. I love how you live absolutely in the here and now, and I wish I could be more like you. I love how you always bring me cups of tea and the stuff I’d like almost without me asking. I love how you are real. I love that you have let me see you cry. You are the center of my world!

I love how you suggest going for a walk instead of watching TV when you know I am feeling weird. I love it when you go into best behavior mode when we go out for dinner. I love how you love food. I love how you have tried to give me what I want, how you have compromised, because you want more than anything to be with me. I love how you get excited about technology. I love the way you shower. I love how vain you are. I love knowing that you would have a stylish haircut if only you had the right hair for that. I love when you get dressed up. I love how you tease me, how you think of the silliest things. I love how unbelievably gorgeous you are. I love the way you sleep and that you hug me when you wake up during the night and in the morning. I love how I try to have a conversation with you when you talk in your sleep and wake up confused to see me laughing. I love how you always try not to make things too spicy for me. I love how you don’t pretend to be anything you aren’t. I love how you are with my pets: playful, but never trying to buy their love I love how they love you anyway.

I want to be with you because I want to have your children. I want to share everything with you. I want you to be there when I get home at night. I want to wake up next to you. I want to miss you when we are apart. You are my favorite person to be around. You are intelligent and interesting and funny. You are cute and silly. You teach me, comfort me, entertain me, inspire me. You get me…

You are a man a lot of women can only dream about, and I’m the luckiest one to have you! I love you and everything about you Sweetheart! It’s okay to have some off days too, but this is a list we’ll read on those days, and remember why we are together: because we love each other more than life itself…"

When do you two become “US”?

You are no longer a couple, you are the one, you share one life and don’t divide it any longer in two. You don’t use the word “I” anymore, there’s only “We”. You belong to him and have no doubts that he belongs to you. So two become one…

When everything suddenly goes right, and all the problems seem so small that you don’t even have to think now, since now you don’t have to worry about a thing at all. When you are ready to give up all your life for him and you’re quite sure that he’ll never ask for that, because he’s ready to do the same. When you don’t have to talk to understand each other, and when one starts a phrase the other finishes it. When you can talk about everything in the world and tell each other all the secrets you’ve ever had.

When it’s never better to sleep apart, but when you sleep in one bed it’s so difficult to fall asleep at all. When you’re together you don’t let go each others hands not for a second. When you start acting and thinking very similar, and suddenly find out that you both copy each other even in intonations

When you look at the world around not only with yours but with his eyes at the same time, when you note around everything that could be interesting or useful for him. When you tell one another the smallest impressions and can always count on total understanding. When you see your future only with him and see no future without him. When you suddenly and fully understand the meaning of the word “family”.

When you’d rather stay alone than go anywhere without him but nobody expects you to come alone anywhere at all. When every moment is the right moment to call him, and when you feel the time he’s going to call you. When you are apart the letters from each other come just on time, when you most expect them to come. When you look at him the look in your eyes change, and in your turn you are sure that he won’t ever look at anybody with those eyes he’s looking at you.

When you both have one past, share the same memories and built together the plans for your future, when you are rewriting all the plans you had before he came so they could suit him too. When you learn all his weak points to avoid pressing on them. When you are beside him you never and nowhere feel out of place.

When you want to go around the world together and at the same time settle down somewhere, build a house, grow a garden and bring up kids together. And you will be making that house a home, keeping it warm, clean, nice so that he would always feel comfortable there.

When you want to take care of him all the time and always feel that care from his side. When you want to support and help him and do everything, even impossible things only to keep him happy. When you both start doing things you’ve never done before and when you quit doing some things that you’ve been used to. When you can let yourself be weak, but he will always make you strong.

When you both become better day after day because you want to be the best for each other. When everything you’re doing seems right to him and when everything he’s doing seems right to you. When you want every single day to last forever. When you are never alone even if he’s not around.

How can one make this fairytale last forever? Is it possible at all? How not to loose such a great love, not to let it fade away among the worries of everyday life? These are the questions on which I don’t really have an answer… but I’m ready to work very hard in order to make the best of it, make him/us happy and feel loved all the time!
