Author's Note: In times when we are looking through past, we may think about the person in past who took far better decisions than you are, but remember,itwas always you. Even then it was you only.
Never to forget, howsoever the ghost ofpastmay seem perfect, however, it's fading to never come back but only as memories. Only the present you is the real you.

I talk to myself now alot
probably just an imaginary ghost
Translucent, I called
Opaque he said
Cold and composed
Is what it felt
Ragging in fire
He called me then
When I asked what it meant
"Can't see through, what lies ahead"
It told me that
When I asked "wanna show me how you do me too"
It said "I am a ghost, only you are you"
It kept looking, trying to look through
Atlast It spoke,
"Don't be confused, I am only you"
"Whatever I do, whatever I did,
It was all you, even if I did it
I am translucent, I will fade
But you are the real you, only you are opaque"
