I got a call one day from a VIP to me, my old long-time boyfriend, and he broke the news he was getting married. I started this song a couple days later, and didn't actually finish it until after he was married, almost a year later. Some people ask if I'm bitter in the song. It was more like I was stunned, knowing I have to face the reality that it's really over. It doesn't get more final than a wedding ring.
