Pink Ballons

c'est beau
je veux un ballon rose

from: A Cup of Joe

Her story:

* When we started taking a walk after church,
he was acting jittery and was really chatty.
He also missed our transfer on the subway which never happens.
He's normally very calm and collected. I was a little suspicious.

* We started walking across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Strangers were handing me pink balloons,
and too many things were going through my mind--
just random thoughts like he is so cute, who are these people,
wow I'm really lucky,doesn't this only happen in the movies?
Is this real? He loves me, doesn't he?

* When he proposed, I felt really excited, happy and a little dazed!

His story:

* I was nervous and excited. As we walked,
strangers gave her pink balloons and love notes.
The notes were handwritten messages to her which reminded her of
why I loved her and why I wanted to marry her.

* Now, I'm so happy and excited about the future.
