Tall dark and handsome is what I see
As I sit above him, perched in a tree
It took me back to when we first met
I was new to this life, he was a seasoned vet.
The competition was fierce
Not a day went by
Without arrows being drawn, as they flew through the sky
He had his band of Merry Men
I worked alone, I didn't need friends
I'd gotten caught, it'd be a long day
"Robin Hood" I'd heard them say
My hands became free, as he stood by my side
We fought our way out, he took my hand and I lied
"I didn't need help, I was fine on my own"
"Looked like it to me." He smirked through his tone.
Back to reality my eye on the prize
Two bandits falling in love, it was a surprise
The sun went down, and darkness fell
"The carriage is in sight"
I hear Little John yell
He looked up at me, no words to be said
We were always in sync, both easily read.
The heist a success, it was one for the books
Arriving back to camp, Robin gave Will a look.
The music was playing, ale was passed around
Girls twirling, guys stomping, loudly on the ground
A party each night, yet we remain out of sight
Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor
If only I knew what he'd had in store.
He'd made off to the village before I could ask why.
He never just leaves without saying goodbye.
Will bows and takes my hand
A kind gesture, one I understand.
Small talk over the music as we begin to dance
He has two left feet, I didn't stand a chance.
I look through the crowd and see him arrive
A sparkle and look of love in his eyes
He makes his way to me, a soft kiss on my lips
We begin to sway, his hands fall to my hips
Dancing in the moonlight, under the stars,
These are the moments we live for, we've come so far.
The music fades and with a soft bow,
He drops to his knee, this is happening now.

"Regina" his voice soft as he takes my hand.

"How can I begin to make you understand? From the day you walked into my life, I've become a better man hoping one day you'd be my wife. I never knew love until I found you. You're my heart, my soul, my words are true. I was always going through life just to survive. Then the day you kissed me, I've never felt more alive. You've sparked the fire and made me see, the meaning of life, how to truly be happy. I loved you then, I love you now, I'll love you always."

From his pocket, the ring now came,
My heart was racing, was I going insane.
A round ruby sat perfectly in the band

"Regina Mills, will you take my hand..."
A traitor tear falls from my eye "YES"

He laughed as he placed the ring on my finger.

"You never let me finish or let the moment linger."

I pull him close, he wipes the tears from my eyes, our lips meet to no surprise.
He is the one my heart beats for, two bandits in love, who could ask for more.
