I wonder why it took so long for you to even hang on to single sock?
It means you had a good deep relation with this pair of sock.
You even got worried what if the other sock showed up when you already tossed the single and lonely sock. This means, you still have a deep attachment with the pair of sock.
The only reason you tossed the lonely sock is that it was useless anyway and you needed the other one to use it.
Disappointed, you decided to toss it but still worried (and actually wished) somehow what will you do if second sock does show up!!!
I must admire your analogy or euphemism of pair of sock!
