You 'Were'!

Time doesn't heal your wounds
it helps you establish habits,
habit of living with that pain,
bearing the sight of that scar
and not letting that tear escape through the corners of your eyes,
habit of masking a smile and not pouring your heart out,
habit of carrying your heart on sleeves and not being afraid.
Time doesn't make you move on
it covers your memories with dust,
making them a bit more faded and blurred every time you visit them,
a bit more distant every time you reach out to them,
same old memories, but making you feel different.
Time doesn't move in circles,
history never repeats itself
you dont greet those people again who left you bereft,
you dont find warmth in the eyes that no longer look towards you,
Time flows like a river,
you never wet a stone again,
not with the same waters
