My White Dress

 
I still keep the white dress we bought together 

It has been at home but I have stopped wearing it

It is not on purpose, I just grew older

Funny, I do not see myself letting go just yet

It has a frilly skirt and lace up front 

It will be hard to thrift another dress like that

So the dress stays in my closet

Until I decide when I can look at it again

Even if time yellows the fabric and the seams finally unravel

It has to wait to be let go
