Dear Dad
To Dad
Dear Dad,
I should have said this sooner...
Maybe a year ago, or the previous three
I left you behind in the ashes, with the intentions of finding a better me
You were not the best father, and I guess you can say you were an even more troubled man
But, I let myself forget how much I loved you, and that was the biggest mistake in the end
I loved you man...
I hope you knew that, even if circumstances didn’t let you see
I know that I was a part of you as much as you’ll always be a part of me
I wake up every morning and wish we could have back just a portion of those wasted 1,460 days
But, that’s not the way life works, I have to lie in the bed that I’ve made
I should have said this sooner...
So, I’ll say it now to let my soul be free
No matter what happened, didn’t happen, or kept a rift between us
I love you more than can be imagined and in my heart you’ll always be
(2015)
