Shoestrings
Everytime I tie my shoes
I’d always think that this, and love
are somewhat the same.
That even in the small things,
it tells us
what it is and how it is
to love and be loved.
Everybody has their own shoes.
And how we treat them,
maybe tells us
about how we treat the ones we love.
Like how often we change our shoes,
just because we don’t want it anymore.
Like how we set it aside,
because there’s a new one
Like how we take care
of the only one pair we have
by cleaning it and making sure
it’s spick and span.
It sure is difficult to maintain a pair of shoes,
but it always tells something about us.
That even though there’s no assurance of forever,
That at any moment, it might get worn out.
but as long as you
take care of it,
cherish it,
and use it properly
it’ll last longer than it ought to be.
