Farewell, my friend.
So many memories we've shared now seem even more vivid with your passing.
We once sat around the campfire, and I protected you from falling embers as we both soaked in the radiating warmth.
And a time when we cleaned the bathroom together, me accidentally squirting a bit of bleach on you. I laughed. You didn't. It's better that you didn't.
The many hikes we've shared: to caves, to lakes, to school.
But as is often the case, I began to take you for granted. The more fun I was having, the more damage I was doing, the more you were fading.
Oh, if I had but known!
In retrospect, if I had just paused to see how worn you had become, I would have changed things. Mended things. Cherished things.
But you are beyond repair now, my favorite pair of jeans.
I lunged one too many lunges into a tall car, and now you are gone.
You must be replaced, but it will just not be the same.
Never again will I find such trust and love for only $14.99.

I always feel so sad when my favorite clothes pass on... Your poem captures the sentiment so well.
I can't imagine the sorrow when my green shirt finally goes on to a better place. Even thinking about it makes me sad inside (sniff sniff).
I think this MST3K song is apropos:
Joel:. . .we've put together a presentation. It's a little thing we like to call: PANTS!
Tom (singing): Pants!
Crow: Pants!
Bots: Sing the praises of pants!
Joel: Nothing better shows my taste, than what I wear below my waist!
Tom: Say! Pants! Hoo hoo!
Crow: Pants!
Bots: Sing the praises of pants!
Tom: They help me suck in my gut They always cover up my butt! Huh? Pants!
Crow: Pants!
All: Sing the praises of pants!
Crow: Wear them and you're a cool guy, as long as you zip up your fly!
Tom: Zip! Pants!
Crow: Pants!
Bots: Sing the praises of pants!
Joel (spoken): That's right ladies and gentlemen! Consider the PANT! You know, the Pants Association urges you to wear your pants at least three times a day!
Crow: The great men of our time have all worn pants! Roosevelt! Churchill! DeGaulle! Ghandi!--Well, almost all of them!
Tom: Dolphins! One of the smartest mammals on earth. Do they wear pants? NO! But they wish they did! That's how smart they are!
Joel: What keeps our legs all warm and hot?
All: Pants!
Crow: What prevents a buffalo shot?
All: Pants!
Tom: What do they got that I ain't got?
All: Pants!
Tom: Well, you can say that again Huh?
Good-bye Haley's favorite jeans!!!
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand completely understand what you are going through as I have suffered such a loss myself. The loss of a good pair of jeans is so very hard to overcome. I know you can do it though! Might I suggest some horribly expensive Lucky Brand Jeans? I got the wonderful pair I have at the DI for a mear $10 and I will too be writing an ode to them when they go!
Oh I know exactly how you feel. My favorite pair of American Eagle jeans were $2.75 at Downeast Outfitters, and I am dreading the day they die, because I know I will never EVER find such a good deal again for something that fits so wonderfully.
wow thats a deal...hopefully the place you got them still makes them, i know it's unlikely.
Good luck finding some more. Jeans are a big deal to everyone I think.
Can't wait til you get your new camera!
May they rest in denim-y peace. Bop you are hilarious!
I've lost many a wonderful pair to "chub-rub" It's a pity, if only I would go to the gym......
Ich denke, dass Sie den Fehler zulassen. Schreiben Sie mir in PM, wir werden umgehen. cialis generika nebenwirkungen cialis online [url=http//t7-isis.org]levitra nebenwirkungen[/url]
