Do you remember the night I proposed?

Dressed in my finest thrift store clothes

With a bottle of champagne in my backpack

Riding around

While we were out for a meal

Some shithead decided to steal

The front light off of your bike outside the restaurant

I wanted to go for a ride in the park

But at that hour at it was getting pretty dark

Being the better cyclist

Gave you my light with one request:

Please try to stay by my side

And we can share the light

Just try to stay close by

As we travel on this path

We pedaled down by the lake

I knew it was not a mistake

You were cranky earlier when you were hungry

But now you were fine

I found a good place to stop

Moonlight on the waves

And I pulled out the box

You said “You can't do this here, Jeff

You know I just peed on that tree.”

That sparkling wit I so admired

Not to be outdone, I inquired

Would you make me the happiest

And grant me this request?

Please always stay by my side

And let me share your light

Just try to stay close by

As we travel on this path
