a pair of purple vans

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
