Meaning

Explanation

In this tender couplet, the poet speaks of love's indelible mark that defies both time and will. The beloved's memory is compared to a scar on the chest—a wound healed into permanence that has become part of one's very identity. It beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of longing, where the pain of love is cherished as a sacred souvenir that can never be washed away.
