Regeneration

I was told a while ago by someone much wiser than me,

That every seven years your body is reborn,

that every cell has made it through it’s cycle, and you are totally new,

And it warms my heart to think that in just a few years, you will have never touched this body. 

I used to spent hours scrubbing my skin raw in the shower trying to wash off the feeling of your hands,

And now I just smile, because soon those hands will have never touched a single cell that I am made of. 

And I find comfort in that.
