You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

I am gone,
Yet I was here.
You are sitting,
Where I was near.
I slept in this bed,
I sat in that chair.
And though I'm not present,
I breathed this air.
I stayed in this room,
Yet left no trace.
I have now moved on,
To a different place.
No one knows,
Where that may be.
Our paths may cross,
Lets wait and see...
