This piece was published in my school newspaper!!! Hope you enjoy :)
My bright red converse in the snow
crunching step by soggy step
Your blue sneakers
racing to meet mine
I learned to share the sidewalk
to let our bodies become one
entity, the swing of our hips
synchronized
The tracks could trace our
relationship, only stumbled when you swept me off my feet or
onto your back, our heartbeats keeping pace
But the snow turned mushy, yellow and sour
Soon I was dodging ice,
struggling to keep my feet from disappearing under the snow
Our gait became clumsy,
you were either so far ahead or so far behind
i couldn’t see you
Eventually, the cherry blossoms bloomed,
with my beat up red converse
crunching step by soggy step.
