35. Scarred

It was a week before they remembered what happiness was.

It was a fortnight before the nightmares grew bearable.

It was a month before tears weren't staining their pillowcases.

They didn't need to ask silly questions about it to one another.

They didn't need to say; it would be okay.

Because it wouldn't and that was the cost they had to accept.

It was two months before he had made enough graves.

It was three before the flowers were in full bloom.

It was four before the scars began to fade.

They decided separation was okay without saying so.

They recognized they needed help without a listening ear.

It was half a year before he could accept they were alive again.

It was snowing before he realized he had a second chance.

It was the new year before they realized they had done well.

They decided it was good to be proud of one another.

They decided that the pain was bearable compared to the consequences.

It was spring before they realized they had a new chance.

It was summer again before they realized their fight was only just beginning.
