The time has come for us to part.
To say good-bye
To remember all of the wonderful memories we’ve shared
The laughs, the tears, our fun nights out
The new places we explored, all of the walks we took together
The time has come for us to part
To go our separate ways
To embark on new adventures with new people met along the way
You’ve been with me through thick and thin, not separated by loose ties
But the time has come for us to go our separate ways
Its time to say good-bye.
You no longer fit into this relationship with me…you’ve grown too big for me
Its time to say good-bye
Loyal pants you’ve been to me
But you no longer fit…you are much too big for me
So, with heavy heart, I pile you up
Ready to give you away
For it’s time to say good-bye
Its time to give you away
I’ve got smaller pants to fit into now, and you’re just in my way.
For the Love of Teaching... 
Awww… Congrats Sam!! .. hahaa.. why do I feel sympathy for you and your pants’ parting? It’s like a bittersweet break up… Love the format!
So cute! Had me thinking the whole time!
Your poem is great, I like how you used the idea of a relationship with your pants. I love the line, “You no longer fit into this relationship with me…you’ve grown too big for me.” It reminds me of the famous line, “Its not you, its me,” in reverse. Great post!
Very cute setup!
I was a little confused at first but then the reveal was very cute. Congrats!
Cute! A good friend of mine recently moved away. At first, your poem made me think of missing my friend. And then I realized you were talking about your pants!
What a great slice. It was so clever I found myself guessing right from the start, wondering what is this about?
I love this. It reminds me of an ode by Pablo Neruda. It’s so beautiful how the pantsness of it sneaks up on you. At first you think you'[re leaving a person behind, and then Aha! I got it. And it’s so much bigger than simply a pair of pants. Lovely!
I’d be so happy to break up with too big pants!
Really cute take on the sentimental side of our material things.
Ha! I loved so many lines in this poem- so clever. Loyal pants you’ve been to me….
Congrats on the downsizing. 🙂
very clever. Pants personified!
I love that you kept me guessing what you were talking about.
hahaha! I love that! I wish I had that problem!
