I don't know when this started. I recall carefree days before I was aware of my mortality, I would run and jump and scrape my knees. Years later, the knee scrapes happened near parked cars and the blood was almost beautiful because I saw that I still had life within me. I would be helped up by an alarmed acquaintance even though I was content to sit on the floor a spell. In the car ride, I swiped my fingers on the spill and brought my hand up to assess the damage. I noticed that I used to heal quicker. Bleeding used to stop sooner and scars would barely feature on my skin.
I just wanted to be brand new again.
