So.... I am sitting here, staring at my computer screen, listening to 'savin' me' by Nickelback on my trusty MP3 player. And I can't think of a single thing to say.

Remember by Christina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day.
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

This poem has always fascinated me. Sometimes, I wonder why things happen, and how it hurts but no one understands, I think it's because they are emotionally detached, like they can't feel what I'm feeling.
