one day I shall fade away, like the ink in my journal, all those memories long forgotten, my existence no segment of any memories, my body now an element of the universe again, and I wonder if my deepest secrets will one day be discovered by a lonely soul, finding solace in my words, and my name resurfacing on the earth again
