The look on Arthur's face is going to make it worth everything, even if it does end up being a terrible poem. (He's very nervous that it is.)
"Okay. Just... don't be too let down if it's lame. I..." he clears his throat and there's the sound of paper rustling as he takes it out of his pocket and unfolds it. "I've never done something like this before."
He gathers his courage and starts to read. It's surprisingly romantic, full of imagery about the cosmos and stars aligning, about soul mates and perfect timing. But there are some humorous bits that mention how they met and how they sometimes drive each other crazy (not in the good way) Yet still, it concludes with a heartfelt promise that he will always be by Arthur's side through the good and the bad. It practically is a marriage proposal.
When it finishes, he clears his throat again and waits nervously for Arthur's critique. "Wasn't too sappy, was it?"
