So there I was, opening some boxes to set stuff aside for recycling or giving away, when I stumbled upon the remains of your watch. It wasn't functional, of course, but I still had carefully wrapped it in a plastic bag.
Many moons ago, you gave it to me hoping I could fix it but unfortunately, it didn't survive the intervention.
What to do? What to do now? I shopped around for two days until I found exactly the same model and gave it to you with an apology.
Yesterday, when the theme resurfaced, you seemed quite upset and annoyed:
"Why didn't you give it back to me after all these years?" - You asked, - "That watch was a gift from one of my best friends, the one who passed away long ago!"
I didn't know what to say at first, but the answer presented itself just as I began saying:
"... Because... that watch was all I had left from you".
