I do

A rush of happiness when the church doors open

Flower girls walk down the aisle, petals floating softly to the ground

The bride in white following them slowly

It was the best feeling ever

I do

They thought they were ready for this day

Being high school sweethearts, wishing for a happy ending in their story

Living under the same roof and growing old together

The future was bright for the happy couple

I do

A honeymoon to Colorado

Life couldn’t be better, standing on a mountain looking over the city

Holding hands and showing off their wedding rings

It couldn’t get better than this

I do

Everything was going as planned

Living together, sharing the same bed

But it wouldn’t last forever

Everything started going down hill

I do

The wrong people entered their lives

Spreading their germs, stealing from their happy lives

One after another entered their home

Their happy life began to tumble

I do

The smell of cigarettes took over the home

Other smells and drugs soon followed, the addiction spread

Loud yelling echos down the hallways  

The future was a dimmed light

I do

The germs grew in numbers

They brought their drugs and awful smells, spreading them

Different women entered and exited when the wife was gone

It was too late to turn back

I do

The last night they slept in the same bed

The last goodbye spoken, then she was gone

His life deteriorated under his feet

It was all over
