would he be?

a meandering thought into what might be.

The world suddenly
seems wide open
but nailed shut
with my doubts
and fears
can I let it go
and be who I
want to be
with someone else?
Is it possible
to trust
to love
to feel
that way again?
Will he pick the
plates up and
clear them away
just because that
is what he always
does?
Will he watch me
scrub the pots
with a look of
affection, wondering
where he should
pitch in?
Will he fold
my clothes with care
and leave them there
for next time?
Will he stand outside
in his rubber boots,
with only a coat
thrown over his
underwear,
clearing the snow
from my car?
Will he do
the million little
things that are
everything?
And can I
overlook the
nothings?
Or will I show
him the door
the very first time
he leaves
his damned sock
on the floor?

Ah, the questions we ask ourselves when a romance ends. Will we ever trust again? Will we be too demanding and never satisfied? You know what? You just have to go with the flow and find out! The insecurities will always leave seeds of doubt, but when the time is right, that sock on the floor will just make you smile. I liked the honesty in this one. Lydi**
