I cried in the fitting room

I went wedding dress shopping
Tried on so many pretty dresses
I had the 4 most important people with me
As I walked into the first dress shop
I stopped
I was shaking
I couldn't breath
I was seeing stars
What's going on?
Why do I feel so light?
I brush it off
I go for the first dress
I try it on
I look into the mirror
And I start to cry
Not because I fell for the dress
But because I wasn't alone
I had involved my family
Is this really happening
Am I actually going to marry someone
Am I actually going to go through with this?
I thought I was always ready
But then I thought more
I was always alone
Every step of the way
This time as I open the door
I see my family, I'm not alone
I remember the man I'm going to marry
I won't ever be alone anymore
As we leave
And go to a new shop
I try one a few more dresses
But this one dress
It cought my eye
I didn't look like a little girl anymore
I looked grown
As I examine myself
I look to the side and see my soon to be
My eyes widen and tears begin to fall
This was my dress
This was the key I've been searching for
This is the first step into a new life
I found my dress that day
I found the door to my future
