Scars

My name is Jense.
I came up with a thought tonight.
Scars can heal, but they are never gone.
Interesting things, scars are. Each one has a story. Like the one on my wrist, when I was 4, and I burned myself with the curling iron. Or the one on my thigh, when I fell off my scooter going down a hill and slid down the road head first. The scar doesn't hurt, but it's still there. People see them.
But not all scars are seen.
Some are hidden, deep inside the deepest parts of our hearts.
Scars can heal, but they are never gone. Not even after a year. 2 years. 10. 100. Now.
I see you, and it still hurts. I see you, and the wound is fresh. It deepens.
This scar is still healing.
This scar will always be healing.
