to really think about it is a little scary

to read between the lines and analyze the words that are said

although it's simply put, it's a lot to ask

and a lot to take in

and a lot to trust and believe in and share in return

it's not just saying that i love you

it's saying that i'm in love with you

it makes my fingers shake

my heart go numb

my knees tense up

but despite the natural reactions that my body can't help

my mind is steady and it's telling me:

yes

to the moon and back
