Have you ever worn anything for so long it almost becomes a part of you? For some it's an old baseball cap, or a necklace, or even a pair of earrings. It's been with you through the best and worst of times, you'd never phathom showering without it (unless you chose the baseball cap, but hey if that's your thing...) and for some reason it just completes you in an odd way. Just before you leave the house you put it on as though the gesture itself was the only thing that could open the front door.
Now I ask: Have you ever forgotten or lost this item? Something just kinda changes about you, and you really can't explain it. At first you feel naked and misplaced yourself, but as time goes by you just sort of accept the loss, but always remember. You might even replace your old friend with something new, but it'll never feel the same, and you know if by chance you find your prized item, even years later, it's going on without question. A part of your life that you don't really need to survive, but has a way of making you feel whole.
Well, that's the best way I can explain her.
