I want you to know that I waited for days on end

I did for a while but the wait was no longer my friend

Every day was a hard cold reminder that I lost you

The worst part was that there was nothing I could do

Desolate and broken; I started to give up on you

I heard the rumors and I thought it be true

You aren’t coming back and there’s nothing I could do

I stopped praying, hid my sorrows, and lied

Only when there were times I was alone, I cried

Looking at your photos, I try to recall your voice

Was leaving me behind the only choice?

If you could do it all again, would you fix it?

Would you stick around to fix every bit?

It kills me and I wish I told you that day

‘’ I miss you too, dad’’…. every day
