Yes I Will

*

With all of my courage, I slowly kneel and met her bright hazel eyes, holding the box in my shaking hands. "Kel, I love you more than life itself. There is no way that I can see spending my life with anyone but you. Kel...please- I want you as my betrothed." My voice falters at the end of the sentence, though somehow I had managed to keep it steady before. My heart nearly stops when she closes her eyes. I hesitate once more, unsure of what to do.


I open my eyes I see your face
I cannot hide I can't erase
The way you make me feel inside
You complete me girl, that's why
Something about you makes me feel
Baby my heart wants to reveal
I'm down on my knees, I'm asking you
So these three words I wanna hear from you


Her eyes slowly flicker open, her hands trembling as they rest upon her cheekbones. "Yes, Neal," she starts, struggling to keep her voice steady, "I will. How could I say no?"

I breathe a large sigh of relief, as a large grin spreads over my face. My still-shaking hands slowly slip the betrothal ring onto her left hand. It's beautiful, with emeralds and rubies encasing the large diamond in the centre. Kel pulls me off my knees and into a tight embrace, and I know by her touch that we will be together forever.


Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, so these three words I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, baby I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Oh yes I will


"So," she murmurs gracefully into my ear, "What say we get married?"

"Erm, Kel, I think we've already established that we are, indeed, getting married," I reply, though not as gracefully.

"No, no, silly, I mean, how about right now?"

"Kel...we can't do that, you know we can't. All of our family and friends are going to want to see us get married...we can't just run off on them, like this." I, as always, try to be the sensible one. (A/N- HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!)

"Oh, forget about them. It's our wedding, not theirs, and they can't do anything from stopping us."

"I know they can't...but Kel, please...it doesn't even have to be a large wedding, just close family and friends. But I want everyone to know that I'm marrying the most beautiful lady on this planet."

"Al- alright then," she replies, though somewhat resentfully.

"I promise, Kel, it will be small. I love you, Kel."

"And I love you too."


This is no ordinary love
And I can never have enough
Of all the things you've given to me
My heart , my soul , my everything
Every night I thank you lord (I thank you lord)
For giving me the strength to love her more
And more each day I promise her
As long as I hear those three words

"Neal," she whispers, pulling out of our embrace and looking me in the eyes, "Are you sure- are you sure that you want to marry me? After all...I'm a knight. I'm not exactly going to be staying around the house having kids and such, while you go off on your noble steed and ride gallant adventures. I'm 5 years younger than you, and I'm not very pretty. I just don't see- I just don't see what you see in me." I can see that she is fighting to keep her Yamani calm.

"Kel, you are the most beautiful, strongest, most defiant person I know. It's one thing to be all of those things on the outside, but to be them on the inside as well is just amazing...Amazing, just like you."

"Oh, Neal," she says softly. And for the first time in my life, I see a tear trickle down her face.

Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, so these three words I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, baby I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you

"It's going to be alright, Kel. We'll be together forever. And no one's ever going to stop us." We stood there for quite some time, holding each other tightly. She was going to be mine, till death do us part.

We fell asleep together the same way. Me holding Kel. My Kel.

I stand beside you, in everything you do
Wherever you go, whatever you do
Baby I'll be there
As God as my witness
I will carry this through
Till death do us part, I promise to you
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, Baby baby yes I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And start a family with you, baby
Yes I will, Yes I will
Yes I will, I promise you
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
I will.
