Romantically involved?
Several hours from now
when you look out the window
and you see me in the chilly garden
you might bring me out a sweater
or you might not. Either way
several hours from now
I will know.

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
Another intriguing poem that suggests so much about a relationship and its possibilities. I am not a fan of such psychological tests that are so passive. Maybe I am a more confrontational person than I care to admit. Or perhaps it is just that I know that my husband, though he loves me deeply, would be totally oblivious to my need for a sweater. Ha ha!
Yes, I feel as you do and my husband is the same as yours. So I would never do this kind of test, either, as I am much more direct, or I would just get it for myself! But, this situation came to me as a thought complete and I like the idea of it being sort of the middle of a train of action, with things that happened before and things that happened later, and what were they/what will they be?
Indeed it would shed some light on the relationship dynamic… not necessarily the depth of love but certainly the level of observation!
Awesome little poem! Now I am wonder what the outcome, lol!
