hate to jump in here, but i hav a riddle. oh and i'd like some credit for reading this entire thread (all 571 posts... please kill me!)

I know this world so well,
But my time has past.
All your stories; I can tell
But you'll never know my own.

(tried to do the rhyming thing but gave up!)

it would make me really happy if you guys could pretend to be stumped for all of, ooh, 2 seconds? please?!

Hmm... looking over it, it mite b a bit vague but i'll happily post hints!
