Diamonds are forever

She waited anxiously,
Its the time of advent,
the return of her beloved
who had left in a huff.
Just a tiff minor,
but the rift major,
emotionally drained she felt,
completed chores routine.

She longed for that smile,
that mesmerizing lopsided smile.
She sensed her heart
suffuse with love for the one awaited.
She pondered over their relation? ?
Friend, lover, soulmate? ?
Insecure she felt
without a name for their bond.

She yearned dearly
for the symbol of matrimony on her finger,
A proof of their mutual love
to console her conscience right? ?
A bell heard? ?

Her heart thumping a million
rushed and opened the door
smiling a welcome
like never before stirred!

There he was on the door step calm
with a bunch of roses red-symbolic,
She ran into his wide-open arms
to be enveloped in a bear hug warm.

He entered and a box gifted
Her eyes with love sparkled
A Diamond ring! !
H# headerer eyes reflected the shimmer
Diamonds are forever-she exclaimed! ! !
