they sat on a bench
at the edge of a cliff
(on a different world)
she swung her legs
he fidgeted with a box in his pocket
she turned to him
(in the light of the alien sun)
and said
(without hesitation)
'i love you'
he stiffened
(nervous, no doubt)
and leaned back slowly
staring at the stars
(or were they even stars?)
and he whispered
'i love you too'
she leaned over
and kissed him
(on the cheek)
then whispered in his ear
'will you marry me?'
he pulled the box out
(of his pocket)
and said
'i was just going to ask the same thing,
rose
tyler.'
