Over the mountains

I am over rocky mountains in love with you
I am across great plains in love with you
I am through vast rivers and lakes in love with you
I am cold days upon bitter nights travel in love with you
I am battling storm and ice and darkness in love with you
I am from one oceans salty shore to the next in love with you
I came so far to say simple words

Will you…?

And you, breathlessly, said:

…yes
