Bare feet sink through the soft white sand
The girls can barely hold themselves up, falling all over each other
The only thing louder than their giggles are the crashing waves in front of them
The blonde girl wraps her arm around the other's waist to hold her up
And at last the girls sink onto the diftwood log they'd been traveling towards for what seemed like ages
They look up at the stars as a cool breeze rushes by
And their warm hands find each other without thinking about it
Their fingers twine together while their eyes gaze up at the sky
"A shooting star!" One of them whispers
And the other closes her eyes, wishing
They sit there for a long time
Both getting colder but neither wanting the beautiful moment to end
As the dark-haired girl shivers, she's suddenly wrapped in her girlfriend's arms
She smiles contentedly, leaning into the warmth
"What did you wish?" She asks
"For more days like today" Her love replies
It had been a perfect day
They'd swam and played and kissed on the beach
They'd eaten ice cream in the summer heat and held hands on the boardwalk
And now it was just them, the ocean, and the stars
Yes, more days like today was a great wish
"But what did you wish?"
She pulls out of their embrace, grabbing her hands instead
"I wished you'd say yes" She replied
"Yes to what?" Her girlfriend asks, confusion on her face
"The question I'm going to ask." She answers
"What question, silly?"
The brown-haired girl sinks down on one knee in the sand
Under the beautiful sky, with the ocean behind them
She pulls a ring from the pocket of her shorts, and whispers,
"Will you marry me?"
And you could barely hear it over the sound of the waves,
But her wish came true
With a whispered "yes"
