Favorite Quote:
&quot;Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away&quot;<br /> &quot;They will forget what you did, they will forget what you said, but they will never forget the way you made them feel.&quot;

I walk down the alley, wondering where to go
Should I walk fast, should I run slow
The darkness of the sky, leaves me with nothing to see
But my ears leave me with hearing, winds on the tree
I wonder if they will find me, do they even care
If they know I'm gone, will they shed a tear
I guess there's no use, trying to escape the pain
So I turn around, and walk back home
In the midst of the pouring rain
