Dear shoes,
I'm sorry for all that I've put you through.
You've held up very well, for a basketball shoe.
I wear you all day, while you're meant for indoors.
You are very helpful when going for boards.
I want to apologize for all the marks on you.
You were such a pretty pair of white shoes.
You still look nice, and work like new.
But pretty soon I'll have to start using glue.
You have held on through the good and the bad.
Ant I know that the wear-and-tear has made you sad.
One day your time will come.
You will begin to fall apart, like little crumbs.
But for now, I want to apologize.
I'm really, truly, sorry guys.
