Why

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'd walked
Hand in Hand.

But now her eyes
Were so terribly cold,
And 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.

He touched her face
And started to cry,
As he put on his ring
He 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.
