Where You Went

The darkest shadow, crept up on you. It took you away, forever too soon. All the flowers 
in the world, couldn’t pay respect. No one understood the cause and affect. No tears 
fell down, until she stroked your hand. It was over before I could crawl away, and I 
could never understand.

Why people have to go, where they go, I don’t understand. Why you had to leave, where 
you had to go, I’ll never understand. I wish I could have gone in your place, I wish you 
had the chance to stroke my face. Why you had to go, where you had to go, I’ll never 
understand.
