when I was 8 or 9

I had a pair of black "leather" loafers that I wore CONSTANTLY. I say "leather" because I don't know if they were actually leather, but in my hyper romanticized memory they were very luxurious.

We were visiting some friends who lived far away and I managed to leave a single shoe behind.

I have not worn a loafer since.

This photo however has be hankering for those loafers of yore.
