In and out- your fingers weave me
I hold you together at the seams
Sometimes nearly chafing you
Sometimes wearing myself out
In and out
our weave is almost part of our very identity-
without me you lie undone
without you, I have nothing to do.
It matters not what we are-
My ends caress you with nonchalance
and you trip in excitement.
Sometimes as I traverse your unravelling expanse
I can almost feel your sole.
If only I could last as long as you
If only all of me was enough for you
from thread at my core to the aglet at my ends
All yours- yet always replaceable.

I am so influenced
by Phineas & Ferb
that I still remember
that the plastic part
of a shoe lace is called
"AGLET" & I always sing
that song when I
remember it...!! 😅😄😉😝

-

If I could gift myself something, I would gift an AGLET and say, "No one cares about it, and neither does it care about them. Be an aglet."

On my birthday
He said, "what do you want ?"

I replied,
"A relation between us as there is between Shoelace and Aglet"
