I waited for just the right moment <br />to ask her to be me wife <br />I brought the ring <br />reserved the restaurant <br />and picked just the right time <br /> <br />Down on one knee <br />I took her hand <br />and slipped the ring on her finger <br />the place went silent <br />the waiter stood by with the champane <br />and then i ask <br />will you marry me <br /> <br />Her hands went to her face and a tear rolled down her cheek <br />no she said dont be mad its not you its me <br /> <br />shocked and dismayed I sat back in my seat <br />for the first time in my life <br />knowing true defeat.<br /><br />vincent armone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-said-no/
