Faded

I was here once But now I'm one of the forgotten ones I faded away slowly Imperceptibly Like the once vibrant blue of blue jeans The edges frayed as I walked along the road of fleeting popularity I felt my fabric thinning until I became comfortable It made me kinda cool in a way for I was worn almost every day it felt better than okay Paired with shirts and sweaters until a time later other clothes seemed better My holes became too noticeable instead of somewhat perceptible The day came when I was sorta just a bit out of style So you washed and folded me carefully put on me on a shelf After all I was a favourite no one wants to throw a favourite away Right there in the closet I stayed Next to all the pretty new things waiting until the day You might wear me again But somehow like sometimes things just are what they are faded old blue jeans inexplicably disappear If you ever do find them You smile and remember how they made you feel But sadly when you try them on they don't fit anymore...
