Consider This
Have you considered the one at your side?
He who holds your hand in a dark theater
shares his popcorn
pushes the cart in the grocery store
changes the oil
snores when exhausted
plans for retirement
does the dishes when you cook
loves it when you invite him to shower
with you
hugs you when you don’t understand
why you’re crying
He doesn’t know either, but knows
from experience, that it works
and that he needs to just shut up and rub
your head
The one who warms your side of
the bed
when you arrive at a running leap
sans panties
The one who vacuums, not to your standards,
but in an effort to help out
so he can spend some time with you
Consider life without.
Is that what you want?
Because there are others who would
treasure him.
