I never thought this day would come
it still feels like a dream
but thankfully, for once
things are exactly as they seem
As I walked into the room
his face lit up because he knew
that he was giving me all I could ask of him
something that was too long overdue
and everyone else in the space rejoiced
for they too were just as pleased
with the words that fluttered out of his mouth
like a delightful summer breeze
and it was even greater than I'd expected
having what I'd been promised confirmed for real
I could only grin when thinking of the future
because of the happiness it made me feel
I look upon that day now
with fondness - with smiles and laughs
the day my teacher said that I'd finished my exams
and no longer had to do maths.
