I swear I saw you in my house the night before....

Where did you go?

I swear you Hugged me right before you left...Then slowly walked away leaving your shadow only...

Where did you go?

I swear the night before you were having the time of your life as you dwelled with happiness as
your family members surrounded
you.

Where did you go?

I swear everything went by too fast.

Where did you go?

I swear all that was there the next day was your tattered clothing and your collection of camera's...

Where did you go...You went into those wonders of memories you left behind...

It's beautiful in it's own way.  I love the emotion you put into it by asking where did you go?  I'm really sorry for your loss.

Amazing once again!

I really like how you repeated "Where did you go?" It really added a suspenseful and sad effect to the story.

Keep writing!
