On bended knee

With a long and deep inhale, I took a breath and went down on one knee.
Okay, it wasn't fully on one bended knee, because she was sitting on the bed, and the bed is low.
It was kind of like a hunched over cramped aching ankle style.
I bet movies and reel life use invisible knee pads for the artistes.

And she said yes!
A new stage begins.
Not a new journey;
but a continuation of the current one just in one new direction.

Doesn't signify that it'll be easier ahead
with mounting financial burdens
and decisions to make
choices to decide
who to invite for what event
or to send an invitation card
and so many more

But I'm happy despite all these
we still have time for each other
or rather, we make time for each other.

To be honest, we haven't really slacked in bed for one day for a long time
Either she's busy with work, or I'm busy with work or both of us are busy with work.
But we still try, and juggle shifts here and there.

Am I sure I want to be married when I'm going to hit 25 soon?
Yes. I don't really see it as being tied down,
though I do acknowledge its commitment.
But it isn't a burden to me, just another step along the path.

A year ago, I would not have imagined that all this will happen.
Getting attached, getting engaged, applying for a house.
Sometimes in life, all one needs to do is to take a step of faith forward
And to be content with what one has in life.

Who knows when we will fade off this earth?
I only know if the world ended today,
I will die in bliss.
