She chuckled at my reaction, and sweet words left her mouth in a tune.

“So let go (let go)”

She got up from her knees, her eyes never leaving mine.

“Jump in.”

Her hand had found it’s way on my cheek and was stroking it softly.

“Oh well, whatcha waiting for?”

As the sweet words left the words, her eyes twinkled brightly in the light.

“Oh, it’s so amazing here.”

A beautiful smile grew on her face.

“It’s alright, cause there’s beauty in the breakdown.”

I had known all about the tears that were gracing my face, but I didn’t mind them, because at this point, my arms were already wrapped tightly around her frame, never wanting to let go, never wanting the moment to end.

“Yes.” I met her eyes again before we allowed the gap between us to close.

She opened the velvet box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. It wasn’t small, and it wasn’t big. But I didn’t care, because it was mine.

She slid the ring on my finger and I could only think about how it fit so perfectly. I could only think about how right it felt, how complete and real everything was. It all just felt so amazing.

“I will never take it off as long I live.” I told her, and I wholeheartedly meant it, in so many ways. I really did. It’s a statement that I will live and die by.

We spent the rest of the evening there, we had laid down a nice large blanket for both of us. I had guessed wrong when I thought that she wanted to take a picture of me, cause she was taking pictures of the ocean.

I was laying down on the blanket, facing her, while she was sitting down with the camera pointed to the ocean. It was a nice and calm peaceful evening. I loved to watch her, and so that’s what I did.

I just watched as she adjusted her camera every so often, and took random pictures of the sea. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of her doing it. This was the start of the rest of my life, and I felt good.
