The Necessary Mistake

I knew it before I did it,
I knew it when it was planned,
I knew I was going to get hit,
I knew it before it happened.

She’s as pure as can be,
Diamonds for eyes,
She would say yes, probably,
Her shine was of the stars in the night skies.

I erred by setting my sights on her,
Her presence touched the strings of my heart,
My heart her voice did capture,
From her I never wanted to be apart.

I made the plan,
To make an angel fall for me,
Staring at her picture, I thought “yes I can!”
I went where I knew she’d be.

I saw her in the distance,
Her beauty incomparable,
I was lost in sweet remembrance,
In the dreams I met that angel.

I walked to her,
I felt my heart throb at her beauty,
I came closer,
I lost my sight, could see the one and only.

I spoke to her,
Felt my heart escape its shell,
Prayed she would say yes to her lover,
Or I would be cast in the abyss of hell.

I proposed,
She stared back at me,
Looked at my eyes, smiled,
And uttered to me. . . . . .
