to my dear friend

I've seen your eyes grow tired

Maybe it's the stress of it all.

Maybe it's that too much time has gone by.

Maybe it's the sleep you don't get.

Maybe it's that you've spent too many nights alone.

Maybe it's that you're scared of getting any older.

But I'm afraid it's more than that,

Because your tired eyes

Don't explain your tired heart,

or your shaking hands,

or your weak ankles,

or the scars on your wrist...

and the watch that covers them.

But although I know what that watch is hiding,

and it scares me to death every time you wear it,

I hope that watch is a symbol

that you believe

Time

Will Heal

All

Your 

Wounds.

And darling, I just hope you will let it.
