Let your heart be a bird
I'll be its cage
Let your heart be the words
And I'll be their page

Let your eyes be an abyss
I'll lose myself in their gaze
Let your heart be a labyrinth
I'll lose myself in its maze

Tell me, my dear
Tell me you'll be mine
Accept this diamond ring
And be my valentine

It had been days since she had expressed her love for him. It had been days since he had talked to her.

And now, here it was, a letter from him.

She could feel the outline of a ring in the envelope. And without opening it, she guessed what his answer was.

Yet, she had to read it in his words.

***
On the other side, he sat there hoping 
"Hope she doesn't find out the ring is fake."

'love should be built on trust, not on some fake emotion'
