Love Poem

[heslopian]

I can't really mention anything that hasn't already been said about this poem. "Like a photograph developing backwards" is an awesome line; it's something I might play off of later.

Just one thing: "battered shoes" sounds kind of weak. I don't know if " battered" is the best way to describe them...
But this is just my preference. Perhaps there's a better adjective?

Thanks as always.

The original phrase was: "battered formal shoes," but I shortened it for the sake of being more concise. I see what you mean; the adjective is rather old hat.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words, Lawrence
