As comfy as spandex with an XL t-shirt,
Our relationship often times seems effortless;

Yet,

The spandex can be a tad suffocating,
Exposing rolls which were not before and
Decreasing circulation to rather important parts.
And that XL t-shirt doesn't always cover the
Imperfections we'd prefer pretending didn't exist;

Still,

I would choose the "almost always" comfort
Of dressing in you, regardless.

LOL, I really enjoyed this one. I live in T- shirts, layers of sweaters, overcoats, longjohns and sweatpants half the year, and the other half, I wonder how I accumulated those little rolls that don't quite stay flat anymore. But I also realize there is more depth to this poem than a fashion statement. Well done!

Thank you for sharing this one with us, Sydney...
I love the reality of it.
Its so true, when we get used to wearing loose clothing, we never notice the little bulges creeping up slowly.

Enjoyed it very much tonight.

And my guess would be that the "almost
always" is certainly the right size...
fit and feel...
