I got your watch out of your drawer the other day and put it on my arm. You used to wear it everyday and I thought it might help me feel that you were close.
But, the band was too big and it was uncomfortable, so I took it off and of course, I misplaced it somewhere here in the house. I am so distracted lately that I can't seem to remember where anything is or where I leave things.
For some reason, you had set the alarm on the watch and now, twice a day, I can hear it somewhere in the house, faintly and urgently beep, beeping for some unknown appointment you can no longer keep.
I was right. Now when I hear the sound of that watch, I think of you and I do feel that you are close. I still can't find the watch but I have no intention of looking for it. I am starting to look forward to hearing it because it reminds me of you.
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
