It's More Than Just a Shirt (Poetry) 

9 1 1
                                    

I opened my closet today

To simple find a shirt to wear

But instead I found you

Mustard yellow and red

"Out of your league"

Written in fading letters

I thought I had buried you away

Where I didn't have to remember you

I haven't worn you in a year or more

You were never one of my favorites

Now you hold too many memories

I am tempted to throw you away

But I need proof

That day had actually happened

That it wasn't a dream

That it wasn't a nightmare my mind made up

That he was ever real at all

That he had ever loved me at all

That I was wearing you

When he got down on one knee

And said "Will you marry me?"
