Mismatched socks

We had always known that 

even though our shadows looked similar 

when we look at it

We are different from every aspect

still trying to match desperately,

Like Ying and Yang

The black and white,

We tried to complement each other rather than trying to look for substitution,

You know how we read about the effects of it

And were always okay to try to fit

Because it felt perfect.

But now that the colors are fading,

How we expected the black one would just fade to white,

And we would be of the same shade

But when the turning came,

the white one turned in to darker one with time,

The two whites would have shed the color in both's life

But both growing darker only eliminated all the sources of light

Only to prove,

We have been the mismatched socks, all along

That can be together,

But cannot be worn at once.

But do you wanna still try to fit

and create a new fashion trend?

I'm all up for it.
