I was with you until this sentence.

I could visualize the beginning of the OP and was in a place of deep thought and suddenly a giant dildo (I'm talking 10 feet long minimum) slapped me in the face and I died for half a second.

It’s the living you need to worry about.

I mean, a lot of people have no, or only lame, memories to look back on. So yeah the ghost feeling is weird but better then nothing.

The Plimsouls - A Million Miles Away

Friday night I'd just got back
I had my eyes shut
Was dreaming about the past
I thought about you while the radio played
I should have got moving
For some reason I stayed
I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of your world
And there was nothing left to bring me back
I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing left to bring me back today
I took a ride, I went downtown
Streets were empty
There was no one around
All the faces that we used to know
Gone from the places that we used to go
I'm at the wrong end of the looking glass
Trying to hold on to the hands of the past and you
And there's nothing left to bring me back
I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing left to bring me back today

High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most
The ones who'd been gone for so very long
She couldn't remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave

The Dark Side of the Moon- Jenny of Oldstones

My town is filled with ghosts of people long gone.
Past lovers, people who I cared about who died, friends who moved away. I realized tonight I can conjure up a memory in almost any part of this town of people who are gone from my life.

The fact that people come and go is one of the single hardest lessons I continue to learn and grow from as I get older. It’s amazing the amount of people that were in my life 2 years ago, 5 years ago, 15 years ago that are no longer relevant or present.
