Shoes, Puns, & Love Poem Not Written By A Girl

we first met on the bleachers

i was nike, & you were vans
we connected right away because i loved boarding & you loved sports

we stomped to the rhythm of cheers & we finished off the alma mater & we ran on to the field when the team won
(even though it was no surprise)


we kept running into each other
& pretty soon we started spending lots of time together near doorways




we started walking places



we walked on the mountains



we walked on the city



we walked everywhere


we tried sneaking into the bowling alley but they caught us & had us kicked out

we started dancing



& you made fun of me because i didn't know how



i liked the color of your eyelets

& the way you did your laces

& i didn't know how to tell you

but you could tell anyway so that was okay






we were a perfect fit
(although i was size 11 & you were size 6)

i wanted to tie the knot
& at first you were afraid of tripping
but i reminded you of all the walking we had done
& it was okay

& you were okay

& we were okay

because we were together

& it felt perfect

because we knew we were solemates

    I liked the preposition ON. You used it instead of OVER or THROUGH or AROUND and it was so good. Sorry to bring grammar into this.
