Worthy

One clear night, at a roof deck somewhere, I knelt on one knee and wore my heart on my sleeve. As the stars and the moon as my witness, I boldly declared my love and asked my significant other if we can spend our lifetime together. Yes was the answer, but, sadly that lifetime was shortly lived. Instead of settling down, we parted ways; that was the end of my delusions of settling down.



I thought I was ready to settle down; but I did settle, settle for something that wasn't meant to be. I convinced myself that it's the best my life will ever get. I settled, without even an argument. I settled for something without deliberating its worth. I settled, without even weighing all my decisions; I plunged and fell face first. I settled and it back fired and blew up all over my face.

THAT WAS THEN... but now that you are here, settling is not the right word. If you'll take me, I won't settle, because settling with you would be such an improper term to use. Being with a great person such as you will never be considered as a settlement. Because with you, I feel like I've won. A goddess, choosing a lowly mortal and making that person worthy to spend a perfect lifetime in an imperfect world. A goddess giving worth to the unworthy...
