Remember That Time?

Remember that time
we watched the sunset
from the old barn?

Where amber waves
of autumn's harvest
graced the horizon...

We shared a kiss
in the fading light
as a chill
signaled the night

and your skin against mine
led to new senses enlightened.

We shared a laugh
when a bug landed
upon your back,

and in my arms
you no longer
saw a reason
to be frightened.

Then we rode
in your father's cart
down the trail
where we first met.

And with a ring
on bended knee
before I could ask
you said "yes".
