It is not just a typical accessory. It represents commitment, a promise, if it's given to someone. It is the willingness to wear it all the time, to remember the commitment made, to remember what keeps you to it. It is supposed to only be for the finger, not in the pocket, the wallet or lying on the table. Because if it is, it wouldn't be called a ring in the first place.
Now, if you have taken it out, what does it really mean? Does it mean that you're not ready to show that you are with someone else? Or are you not committed enough to anything that forgetting to wear it has become a routine? Maybe you think it's time to move on as it no longer means anything?

"Is that an accessory?", I questioned my friend. He denied and proceeded to explaining why he's wearing it. It's been with him for more than four years now. It was supposed to come in a pair in which the other is for the special someone. But it's separated now. They have left each other for a reason. I kept quiet for a moment. He's a friend who somehow possesses easy come, easy go character. Yet, he's held on to something which is so small and fitted into his finger. Then I wondered. Is the girl wearing it just like he did? Or has she moved on?
I don't know.

What about you? What does the ring mean to you?
