My Favorite Person

I just bought you a ring
And you don’t know it yet
Because you’re still floating in vagaries
Unsure of what the future holds

I just bought you a ring
A beautiful antique with sapphires that
Compete with your eyes
In a race they’ll always lose

I just bought you a ring
Because I’ve known for a year now
That you are the one for me
That you will be my wife soon

I just bought you a ring
Because I want to have children with you
Whose sparkle will outshine
These diamonds

I just bought you a ring
To put on your finger
When I kneel before you
And beg you to marry me

I just bought you a ring
Wrought in a band of platinum
That will disintegrate
Before my love for you ever does
