Fading Away

There are times when I wish all would simply fade away.  Then there are things that just do and nothing can be done about it.  There are times when I wish the faded memories would just be revisited and come back.  Then there are things that remain.  Right now I am listening to "Everything Fades Away" by Mariah Carey.  Even though this is a romance song, I can recall things in my life that have faded away and that are fading away.  I can recall them with fondness and I can recall others with joy and with sadness.
