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.
