Description
You want new
Like bright white sandals
That go perfectly with the dress
And you're aware that you wear them
Because this is the first time
They've been out of the box
And on your feet, just this once
On just this special occasion
Before they go back in the box
And are never worn again.

But I am not always new
Like the old pair of comfortable shoes
That you have worn for years,
So much that they mold to your foot
And you can't feel them grasping your toes
But you only know that your foot is covered,
Safe in the warm, known, oldness of the shoe.
Sometimes they surprise you
With a rock or a new tear
But you still wear them anyway.
They are tarnished, no longer bright
And you wear them with everything
Leaving the bright white sandals alone
In favor of the old friend.

You want new
But I am not always new
Let me surprise you
