Time Heals: A Poem

Time Heals

You walk in, wave and smile

And I see

Riding my bike

In parking lot circles

Dragging you outside

“You’re going to do it”

Five hours earlier

Sitting by my side

Unlike those before

You stuck by me through it

Nothing alike

Yet united by morals

Challenged my comfort zone

Helped set me free

Your birthday surprise

I wanted to show you

How treasured you are

And will always be

Now demystified

I remember

The friendship we had

Was painfully real

And I smile back

Because I remember

No matter what happens

Time always heals.
