And just like that, we got engaged. There’s a lake off of 537, near Great Adventure. And a little place called Java Moon. That’s where we met for a handful of first dates. We ran around in the rain, and that was the first time I really wanted him to kiss me. We didn’t. But that was when I knew there was more to it. I looked across from him as we sat there eating dinner. He ordered some fruity salad while I ate something ridiculously fatty, and I knew I didn’t know him as well as I thought I did. I loved to make him laugh. We had awkward silences that left me wondering. We explored places together, and it was just so comfortable to be hand in hand.

He took me back there. And he asked me to marry him. And I said yes.


”And you just wanna feel like a coin that’s been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well…
Well you’re tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
Where you cast your spell
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well…”
