I had a pair of purple vans
And another with a light pink hue
We used to write up our plans
On those worn out sneakers
What did you do?
Did you prefer wearing converse to a concert?
Or were you a slides type of person?
I guess I shouldn’t be so curious
Your new girlfriend taught me that lesson
I listened to blues at a cross road
Then had to engage in small talk
Before we learned how to upload
We’d hopscotch all day
I always chose the red chalk
Were you like me, and waiting just for recess?
Or did you prefer a library?
Before you answer, she’s back at your side, giving me the eye
As though I’m an adversary
I’m trying to move on
so I’ll stop my recollections
And live with your unrequited affections
