Finally bound

Slowly dancing on the floor looking at you from the door frame not saying a word. I smile back at you as I continued to hum to the music while my feet keep moving in a soft rhythm. I miss those last moments like this before you went off. The way you leaned on the door with your ankles crossed in those grey sneakers . And you said,"what am I going to do without you?" Then I said , "Great question,  I don't know but we will find out but don't go too overboard".
 We never had much materially around in life but we have everything in so much more in each other than anything else. I have no clue when you are coming home, but I hope it's soon. Every Friday for the last six months , that same music would play and I would make those cookies that are to sweet while dancing on the same wooden kitchen floor.When the same song comes on the day you left , I imagine you are in the red door frame,smiling. Everyday gets little longer without you but I know you will be home when you can as I day dream a little longer without you here. It's the second to last week of the month and I do the same thing as always. I keep dancing in a circle as I was mixing the dough together , dreaming of you . Then Someone grabbed a hold of me and we started to dancing together, I held my eyes closed thinking it was a dream until my eyes opened and I noticed you. I saw you through my own eyes,soft  enduring eyes with a little scruff around your chin,  I couldn't stop smiling and in that moment, I didn't care how much my face hurt. Finally all my day dreaming came true and your were home, safe and looking very serious.
 Then you whispered in my ear, " I found out what it is like and it's a problem for me.I am completely lost without you and I know how to fix that. Right now." I asked, "How? Tell me " Without missing a beat you said, ''Making you mine Officially".
I just stared into those Honest eyes of yours and said ," You would now?... After being away you wouldn't... You must be joking." You spun me around a few times ans said," Close your eyes please". I did  what you asked and counted the Mississippi's until you asked me to open my eyes again. When you did, you were down to a knee and had a string in one hand. I smiled at you because, you are worth it to me from day one and you looked too serious.Then you took my left hand and looked into me and talked through heart.  I know you didn't write down this but it come from your heart is what mattered to me.
"You are worth too much and yet just enough for me.You are strong when times are tough and see all the good in the world despite all the things are thrown at you. You make the little things important in life rather than focus on the big things that everyone looks at.You never demand or ask for things you deserve. You always take care of people around you first then yourself and I want to have the honor of holding you and take care of you forever. The chance to continue to see things through your eyes together and make our own imprint on the world. I want to do the things that scare us together and laugh about the holidays when we attempt to host a family gathering and the main course is thrown through the window.
 The tears started to go down my cheeks because I knew you were true by each word you spoke.I fell into my knees and just looked into you for awhile before I can say a word.Then I whispered ,"Now, How come you didn't lead with that first?" You just smiled and said, " Why don't you just answer first before I loose it".I waited a few moments just to drive you a little crazy.
"You are the man, I can see being lost with everyday and have everything at once.You are kind,honest and watch out for everyone in your life.You work overtime when you don't have to just so others can get off early to see their family.  You are the man I can see holding us up when I am too weak to do so . You are also the man that can handle my family for better or worse and I know wouldn't leave when you should but stand taller. I see you who you are in the inside , because your heart speaks to me before you ever walk in a room. You always keep me laughing and on my toes when it come s to your crazy ideas or little adventures.You are the most patience man I know. I don't know what I would do without you. I thought I was always yours, bounded".
 Looking back at you,"Yes,I am yours". You just started back at me and held my hands until you realized I said yes.You held my hand and wrapped the string around my finger into a bow."Babe you keep on my toes daily and I just want to be finally bounded to you officially". Then you helped us up and we started to dance in a little circle across the floor , just where we started from day one.
