Shoes Older Than That

It's not that I don't wish you roses,
but I'm reading about this search of yours,
this tale of hard luck,
and wrong turns,
and the ones who done you wrong,
all culiminating in this perfect love.
Well girl,
I wrote like that...once.
Loved the man I gave my hand to,
gave him my whole heart on a plate.
Only...people do change.
So look me up in nineteen years,
when life
and babies
and what all has tested you a bit,
and tell me that it's all still perfect.
I'm hoping it is---
but damn
I have shoes older than you,
But I do hope
in twenty years
you still like the fit.
