When a wound heals, it doesn't immediately disappear. "It takes time." "I run out of time."
Time is a mere man-made concept, nothing more. "Please don't say that." "Yeah, I knew I shouldn't." Innocence is somehow socially accepted yet purity and honesty aren't.
"I hope you understand." What's said and left unsaid. They all matter and I hope you understand. I really do. I wish you did understand. "I do. I completely understand."
