I told myself I would only fall in love with the boys sporting Converse;
Navy Hi Tops and Red Lo Tops
laces frayed and mangled and the tongue falling out.
Everyone thought I would only flirt with combat boots,
Doc Martens, huge pieces of faux leather
shined to perfection.
I thought, "maybe I'll marry a boy
who used to wear oversiezed DCs hopping off skateboards,
in all different colors of a neon rainbow."
But then you waltzed in one day,
wearing only simple tennis shoes,
slightly worn with only one brown stripe down the middle,
proving that there is an exception to every rule.
