Description
The Tower of London has Fallen In Your Eyes
By: Charles Phillips

Times running out
“We need to go hun.”
this I say loudly once more
“You don't need to jump into every phone booth.”

You just look at me
then you tell me in your correct me tone
“Over here they are called Phone Boxes.”
you sound serious
and I told you so at the sametime
all I can do is just simply remember
this is why I asked you to go to London with me
well that and something else
as surprise I told you about
but I still refuse to give you any clues

This is in theory why
I think you're being such an ass
well an ass about the “Phone Boxes” that is

“All I want to do is find a Blue one”
you tell me
and my face gently reaches my palm
and I shake my head

“You know you look beautiful in your black coat!”
I yell at you
in my hurry up tone
I am at least a half a block ahead
and you are still taking your time
you have no idea how much you're taking up the time we have left
well we have forever
at least in my eyes
but not very long until the surprise
“You're driving me crazy,
you are so lucky you're my best friend!”
I yell again

You lean out of the second to last phone box
and with the cutest near bitchy tone you yell
“I'm your only friend,
the rest are just prostitutes that we keep paying
and they like the money!”

You still haven't caught up yet
then I turn around
and start back down the sidewalk
I hear your boots clomping on the sidewalk after me
then they stop
and you almost take me to the ground
I barely stay on my feet
“Wow loser don’t go dropping me now.”
then you dig the heels of your boots into my ass
I start giving you a piggy back ride
You beat me to the punch in the comment game with
“And don’t you dare call me a piggy,
this isn't a piggy back ride you’re just simply carrying a damsel in distress.”
I roll my eyes
and you playfully smack my face
“You’re a damsel in distress eh,
well miss damsel in distress did you find happiness in your phone boxes?”
I say with sarcasm oozing on every word
you jab me again with your heels
“Am I still with you
and calling you the Tin Dog yet?”

“No”
my only reply

“Well then I guess not”
I know what you’re referring too
but I pay no attention to it
and brush it off
we are almost to the place for the surprise

We both walk into a small pub
no one there knows who we are
that’s just the way I want it to be
we sit at a small booth
you look at me
and ask
“So this is where you want to eat?”
I just nod my head
“This place is a dive.”
you tell me with a pause
“But, you know I love dives.”
I nod my head once again

I stand up
then drop to one knee
you look at me like a deer in headlights
I slowly reach into my pocket
and your eyes grow to the size of dinner plates
I pull out little black box
and hand it to you
the only people in the pub that notice
are an old married couple
and they do nothing but whisper back
and forth to each other
and point
and all you can do is look at my stupefied
you open up the box
and all you quickly laugh with tears in your eyes
Then you say what I’ve been waiting to hear for since I met you in 6th grade
“Yes, you jackass I’ll be your girlfriend
and this can be our first date.”

I calmly look at you
and with a smart ass grin on my face ask
“What did you think that I was going to propose?”
you look at me
and with the I’m going to kill you look reply
“Well what else do you do when you drop to one knee?”
and you playfully punch my left shoulder
“Well what would you have said if I did propose?”
I ask you in full wonder
“I probably would have said yes.”
you reply in full confidence

We finish our pints of beer
and head to the door
we get back by the line of phone boxes
I tell you in a sincere tone
“You might want to go and check that last phone box again.”
You look at me confused
and run to it
and go into it
then you lift up the phone book
and say loudly
“There’s nothing in here!”
even though I’m right next to you
I look at you
and say
“Ok I wasn’t sure if you checked that one earlier.”
much like the smart ass I am
then I bend over the tie my shoe
I look up at you
and I ask
“So you said you probably would have said yes if I actually proposed right?”
You reply
“Yes, I know I would.”
with a smile on your face ear to ear
“Well good because I think girlfriend is a horrible title for someone as beautiful and smart as you, so will you marry me that is?”
I hold out the ring that I pulled out my shoe
and watch your face glow red
