My boots are covered in mud from the trek we took down by the river. I should really clean them, it's not proper to walk into work with them in such a state. But I won't clean them. I need proof. It wasn't a dream, it really happened. We were there, even just for a time being. Each scratch will remind me of the steps we took The mud caked to my heels will tell the story of how I couldn't stop laughing The worn sole will be testament to how you fixed mine
