It felt weird the first couple of weeks you were gone. I went from seeing you everyday to never seeing you again. It was so sudden the way you left, I never expected to wake up to find you gone, while I had slept through the shouting and screaming.
You sat there and watched it all.
I had no clue of what you went through that night but it was enough to make you leave and start anew somewhere else.
It was awhile before anyone knew where you had gone and People spoke their thoughts of your safety and well-being but I think it was just to make conversation.
It almost been 2 years since that night you left and never turned back. The only way I know your okay is through facebook posts. I thought it was weird at first, that you could just move on like that and forget what life you had here but I came to realise that I, just like everyone else had forgotten you were even here in the first place. I had moved on just like you had.
Months went on and everyone's routine continued on as normal and it felt as if you were never here.
Your house though is the only reminder of you as it lies empty among the family filled homes. It's the only thing left that connects this neighbourhood, this community and these memories to you.
