A Fuzzy Orange Band

A question, an important question
Framed and pregnant in my mind
had to wait a little longer for its asking

I went downstairs, to the bathroom,
with an idea, a thought, a scheme, a plan
A fuzzy orange pony tail holder,
like a fabric woolly bear caterpillar
That would do, the perfect choice

Running back up to you, with excitement
laughter in my smile, to ask you
to ask you the question, the one we had discussed
from the moment of our courtship, the one
we knew would come sooner than for some

My question two years ago today
Our covenant sealed, after your answer
with a fuzzy orange band
