A Marriage Proposal

Well, Thomas had a day in mind
Kept it to himself but showed no signs
Walking through the park, he knew it would be dark to walk away

And Grace, she had a time with words, saving all the things she'd read and heard
She sensed his grand proposal, and scared now I suppose

Thomas, starting over seemed, like all the fiction characters redeemed
And patience wasn't there, but he knew it was unfair to stay

And Grace, she understood the times that he looked across her eyes so blind
And though the yearn was small, she couldn't help but fall
