Un attimo prima della proposta...
Lui insisteva per farmi una foto di spalle,
mentre io continuavo a chiedermi:
"Ma perché non in faccia?"
Solo dopo ho capito che stava
aspettando quel momento per tirare fuori
l'anello senza farsi scoprire. 🥺
lui, agitato, apre il cofanetto al contrario

Of the ordinary
I want you laying down
Till the dead and buried
On the edge of my
