But it may looked well-worn with time goes by.
"One of my old mates died. Actually he stopped himself, but his dying changed now. The other lads will just forget him, I will forget him too, I looked for a photo so I could see his face, but there weren’t any. I thoght he was me special mate. Sooner or later I will be gone too, it made me want to take photographs…." - Yang
