Some loves are like old shoes
easy to slip into
comfortable and loose
tied with laces frayed and worn
that barely keep them on.

Easily you slide them off
when coming to a brook
then acting like a child again
no sense of time nor cause for care
you lose yourself in splashing games.

Yet when its time
for that long walk home
you know old shoes are best.

Great metaphors, these old shoes, LorienLord. There is nothing quite like wearing an old love which has found its true place within your heart.

I was nodding all the way through with a smile and my wife looked over my shoulder saying, "what are you reading?" Then she says "yah, only when I'm Gellin"
