The day you were white and walk to a man in a suit

Waiting for you at the end of an aisle

Will be the best and worst day of my life

I’ll wear some horribly distasteful shade of pastel

One that we would have laughed at someone in Amy other day

And waterproof mascara so my tears don’t run down my face

And you’ll smile at me softly

Trying to stop them from coming at all

I’ll hand over the rings

And I’ll give it to him he did a great job

With my assistance of course

But I’ll hold on a bit tighter than need be

Because this will be the last moment where it’s just you and me

The you and me who got through heartbreak

And the you and me who found love

But I never really thought about the day love separates us

Where you have to go be a you and me with someone else

One who wasn’t there for your I hate men phase

Or the take a shot and scream black eyed peas before going out days

But I can’t even be mad

Cause he loves you in all the right ways

All the ways that god has heard me pray over and over

Tant you would be loved

Gently and softly and fully

All the ways that I love you

But I can’t help but be reminded that the ring he slips on your finger

Is not just a symbol of change

But change its self

I’m no longer your first emergency call

Which is weird because up until this point

You and I were all each other had

So with your bouquet in hand

While you turn around to softly smile and stop my tears

I’ll let them fall anyway

Cause that will be the last time it’s just you and me

But I’ll wipe them away just as quickly as they fell

And thank god for answering the prayers I prayed

For giving you love just as strong as mine

One that will love you in sickness and in health

One tant will be with you until death do you part

Just as I do

I can’t wait for this day to come for you xx
