When does a person truly die? When he draws his last breath? When he sees his life flash before his eyes? When he starts regretting all the choices he has made?
None of these.
It is when one is forgotten that they are truly dead. That is why he puts so much importance in leaving a footprint behind. A reminder for what was once him in this life.
Can't stop it from happening Forbidden and taboo is spelt exciting and new Won't stop it from happening tried and tried and tried but failed Countless times and yet still not stopping Like bees and flowers Like Romeo and Juliet Like happily ever after and Disney movies You are hopeless
Once you have said that nothing has changed Fake words spoken in a confused tongue Dreaming the reality that you have fallen Realizing the dream that you have not Yet it spells out as hopeless
