"You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful, reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." ~As said by Mr. Antolini, Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger

Fade away, fade away
Never come another day
Fade away, fade away
I miss your presence everyday
Fade away, fade away
Keep your emotions locked at bay
Fade away, fade away
I miss your smile to this day
Fade away, fade away
In my arms you’re meant to lay
Fade away, fade away
Please do not lament that day
Fade away, fade away
I want you, bring what it may
Fade away, fade away
Ignore the voices that said nay
Fade away, fade away
I wish you’d had more words to say
Fade away, fade away
I’m no longer your debt to pay
Fade away, fade away
I just wish you’d let me have my way
Fade away, fade away
My shadow pierced by your lasting ray
Fade away, fade away
Only your memory will forever stay
Fade away
