About YOU It was the beginning, It should have been the beginning. But I DID NOT MENTION THE FEELING. It is the beginning. It will be the beginning, So,when it really begins, Tell me, That was not, the“ used to be.” ---To Mary Dear sir, I think you should just tell Mary that you are serious about your relationship and that you would like to marry her. This peom doesn't really make too much sense. It's vague, unclear, and weak. Be a man about it. If she refuses to take you hand, at least she will admire the fact that you are brave and clear with your intention. Best wishes.
