An Ode to my Socks

Socks, how I love thee let me tell you how:

I love you for your warmth on the cold winters’ day.

And how I miss your fuzziness when I wish for it to stay.

Your softness against my toes makes me love you in every way.

I long to put you back on my feet when those skies are so gray.

I love how you leave sock fuzz between my toes when it’s time to go.

Every time you depart, you’ll never know how much I miss you so.

I love how you stick with me through all your many wash cycles.

I’ll never find another pair of socks like you no matter the many styles.

I know this whole time I’ve been talking about my favorite socks.

But unlike you, with me, my socks cannot walk and talk.

Like them when you go I long for you to forever stay.

Everything about you makes me love you in every way.

And like the sock fuzz every time you go you leave a piece of you behind.

I know I’ll love you for the rest of my life, will you for the rest of your time?

I know this sounds so funny but I promise I’m not losing my mind.

So when I ask this with all honesty, will you be forever mine?
