it might make you cry

Near to the door

he paused to stand

as he took his class ring

off her hand

all who were watching

did not speak

as a silent tear

ran down his cheek

and through his mind

the memories ran

of the moments they walked

and ran in the sand (hand in hand)

but now her eyes were so terribly cold

for he would never again

have her to hold

they watched in silence

as he bent near

and whispered the words

"I love you" in her ear

as he put on his ring and wanted to die

and just then the wind began to blow

as they lowered her casket

into the snow...

this is what happens

to man alive...

when friends let friends

drink and drive.

awww im srry to hear that... what was her name?

A friend I grew up with died, along with her boyfriend, because he was driving after drinking. The story was they were having a tiff coming out of the pub. Up to that point she had been a rebel against the seatbelt law. Apparently she was so terrified at the speed he was going that she crawled into the back seat and strapped herself in. Unfortunately, it didn't save her. They said she died instantly. The picture in the paper showed the car standing on it's nose against a tree. For that reason, anytime I received forms for jury duty, I always put that I would be biased if alcohol's involved.
