How many miles could you walk...
in a size five,
when you wear a size nine?
Not more than a mile
when the shoes are mine...

How many miles can you walk
in a size nine when you wear a size five?
not more than a mile it appears,
since walking any farther in my shoes,
to you wouldn't be worth the tears..

How many miles could I walk..
in a size nine or five?
when I wear a size so small??
The order you've placed
has become much to tall...
I just barely learned to crawl,
haven't yet started school,
just graduated from the kiddy pool,
I could never walk a block in those shoes,
they do not fit and they've been used,
but I would walk a thousand miles with you,
in my own shoes, they're blue and white!!!
walking out of the darkness together
and journeying through the light....

sometimes it is hard for a man to not compare present companion for someone in his past...u just have to keep reminding him, by just being yourself...nicely expressed.
