The Thing I carry.....

In Literature  "symbolism" or symbol, is a physical object or place which carry an idea or an association that stand for something so deeply significant that sometimes it's too rooted to spoil the magic to explain. Symbols mean different things to different mentalities.  
For me, my automatic watch never parts my wrist.   It symbolizes the reasons why it was given to me as a gift during a once happy time in my life many years ago that will never come again.  Although it may represent happiness, it also symbolizes sadness. 
It is also a constant reminder that time is precious and once it's given, you can never relive those moments ever again because time stops for no one.....
