&ldquo;To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.&rdquo;<br /> ― Oscar Wilde


That was the last time I saw you
In that coffee shop
With nothing on your naked wrist
But that watch I gave you

And in that coffee shop
I remembered
The watch I gave you
Complimented your not-so naked wrist

I remembered
How your wrist wasn’t naked but the watch
Complimented your not-so naked wrist
The picture you painted on your wrist showed a story

Your wrist wasn’t naked
Because of me
The picture on your wrist showed a story
A story no one would ever want to see

Because of me
There was a picture on that not-so naked wrist
But this was a story no one would ever want to see
That was the last time I saw you

I hope people will read my poem and just all agree that they hope they see a friend who was now a stranger in a coffee shop years from now.
