About a year ago I made this dragon clock for my then-boyfriend of 4 years. I poured a lot of myself into it and it looked really good.
Well, we didn't end up making it through my first year of college. He had separation issues I guess, Idk. Anyway, he gave the clock back when I asked for my paintings. I never really wanted it back. It was a gift and I'd never ask for a gift back.
In the mean time, he and I became better friends than we'd ever been before. We've been able to maintain this friendship, both of us occasionally thinking we may start "things" up again once we're ready, whenever that is, but usually dismissing the thought, laughing it off or whatever. I truly have no idea if we'll ever be together again, but I'm completely fine with that. I love him and I'm glad he's still a part of my life.
So anyway, this clock hung on my wall for almost a year and every time I looked at it, it looked somehow really wrong. So I took it off my wall and began working on it. Pouring even more of myself into it than before.
Now it's nearly finished, and it dawned on me that this clock never really belonged to me. It's always been his.
(I still need to work on some highlights, clean up the outer rim, and add the hour markers but otherwise it's finished)
Would it be a bad idea for me to give it back to him? I wouldn't make a big deal about it or anything, I'd just sort of hand it to him and say it's not mine or something like that.
Anyway, I know this is kinda long so thanks for reading
