A billion stars winked at her teasingly
From the clear night sky.
A million thoughts careened inside her head
In every possible direction.
A thousand smiles they had exchanged
Over the years.
A hundred reasons she could think of
To say no.
A dozen roses held tantalizingly
In front of her.
Two people waiting on the moor
In that most poignant of moments.
One person to spend
The rest of her life with?
To find, perhaps,
Countless joys, depthless trust,
Boundless love, endless happiness,
And priceless memories?
She took a deep breath,
And said, "Yes".

I cant imagine how i'd respond if the person i love proposes to me. I guess i'd be thrilled , insanely happy and totally overcome with emotion. But i dont think a million reasons to say no will come rushing into my mind.
Good work.Keep writing.
Only a hundred :P
But no, it's not about when a person you love proposes to you, duh!! That's when you propose to him/her. This is about when a person you never realized loves you proposes to you. I've been told that one of the first reactions to that is to think about all the thats-why-nots before you think about the thats-why-yes.
I can hear you...it takes one by such surprise ufffff
well written :)
