Whilst on a shopping trip in Exeter one windy, rainy day,
I stumbled upon a treasure trove, a rainbow in the grey.
'Twas called Sobey's Vintage & my heart began to race
As I dragged my boyfriend in with me, a smile on my face.
It was a playground of colour & among all the one-off finds,
Stood a silky, pink shirt that was largely over-sized.
I'd been dreaming of a shirt like this, searching high & low,
So when I picked this bad-boy up, I nearly blew my load (sorry, Mum if you're reading).
From the very beginning it was love at first sight,
I layered you over everything, wore you day to night.
But alas, like all great love's, things had to come to an end,
When I found a tear in you after this photo shoot with a friend.
I hoped things would be fine, perhaps a stitch would do it,
But as the tear got bigger I sighed & thought, 'Well, shit!'
I know when I've been beaten though & it seems our time is through,
Now my search continues but none will ever replace you.
R.I.P pink shirt, I'll miss you to my core,
Here's hoping I find your equal in another vintage store.
To all of those who've loved & lost, whether it be a shirt or heels,
My heart goes out to you fashionistas 'cause I know just how you feel.
