eternal sunshine

do i cease to exist if you choose to forget me? am i a figment of your imagination? nope, i'm still here. in all my dorky glory. what happens when you lose of piece of your life? when it just ceases to be as if it never happened? are you the same person then? sort of. but something's missing. something undefinable and abstract that you can't quite put your finger on. you're a little bit less you. and a little bit more someone who thinks like you and talks like you but is missing that elusive something that should be there but somehow isn't. so i think i'll keep them. and keep you. the good with the bad, the anger and the sadness. it's all there. it's all important, and i'm just not me without them. without you. each and every one of you. whether i saw you for a few moments or have known you all my life. i'll keep every last one of you. but especially the ones who decided to follow me off the edge of the cliff and not look down (even if they've looked down and fallen since). and shal, who looked down but did not fall.
