I try to wear you once in a while,      making sure if you fit the same      as the last time i checked But then again, whenever i notice      the apparent worn off, tired seams      from the fabric that was once our love,      I go back again and sew them together, Carefully threading the gaps back      where they once were sewn tightly shut,      left with no space for inadequacy,      hardly any place for scarcity of love. My misguided, solitary efforts then proved      a love with tenuous and delicate clothing      that has misplaced its capacity      to wear out storms and excessive usage. Back there is where i find      that not everything burnt out      could rekindle its flame.
