Sometimes, when I walk through the
graveyard,
I look at all the gaves and I think about the fact that one day
it will be my own gravestone, inscribed with my own name and that
one day the moss will grow over it and my name will fade away.
And I think about whether, when the end comes, I will be happy. I
wonder about what I will regret, what I will be proud of. And I
wonder what other people will think when I'm gone, how they
will remember me, whether their lives will be different without
me. And I keep thinking, I think about how one day all of those
people will have their own graves until theres no-one left who
remembers me. And I wonder whether people will look at that
mossy, worn-out name on my crumbling gravestone and wonder
about who I was just as I wonder about them. And I wonder if one
day there will be another girl, one who will look at these graves
and think about death and the ordinary people who are steadily
forgotten, just like I did, all those years ago.
