Nearly vintage

She walked by, vintage jacket
clinging lovingly to her shoulders.
I nearly stepped in a puddle –
I once owned the same one.

Written for the Weekend Writing Prompt #120 – “Vintage” – at Sammi Scribbles. Only 22 words!
Also used the Word of the Day Challenge – “Nearly”

I hope that was ambiguously funny. Because I laughed.
And appreciated.

I also found it sad, depending on the interpretation – well done
