threadbare

We can no longer wear the old clothes
we wore when we first met.
Too much time has passed. 
The cloth has grown threadbare
and frayed.
We mark time in very strange ways.
We could try and wear them 
once more for the sake of 
nostalgia but in the end
we can only be 
as real to ourselves 
as we allow ourselves to be.
