I would like to marry you China

I know this is sudden, but I have only known for a little while. Its time, and I'm not going to say it won't be hard for us, but I want to marry you, China. Yes, I know this is a shock. I feel that you should take as much time as possible. I respect you if you say no. I will be heartbroken, but I respect you.

I should be clear. I am not speaking in metaphors about a person named China, nor am I talking to the people of China, whom I respect but I don't feel about in that way.  I love the land of China, like actually, the land.

When did I first realize that I was in love with it? Well, when I saw it on a map. I was a young man in my 70's, right after my wife died, and with my heart full of wonder I looked at it. And I knew that it was just for me. I was going to marry that piece of land. It just gets me.

If you say yes, the world is our oyster, babe.
