A look at missing moments and thoughts... in response to the Drabble Challenge on Facebook. Full cast feature and then some. Reviews appreciated.

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave

Cause your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone
