Proposal

Proposal

A delicate balance
must be achieved
for the one who asks
cannot do so
until he knows
the answer is yes.
 She must achieve
exactly the right balance
of not being eager
and letting him know
the answer is yes.
 This miscommunication
will be gone
only to begin a life together
full of negotiations,
misunderstandings, sorrow, joy,
and delight.
