A Letter to My Dad
Dear dad,
Hey remember me?
It’s me, your princess
It’s been a decade since we last saw each other
How’s it like in Heaven?
You had a hard life
But you kept fighting
Locked up
They almost didn’t let you go
One puff
One drink
Ol lord he’s crazy!
Lock him up!
You was a rolling stone
One girl, one night
But you always came back to me
One day you didn’t.....
So many tears
So much pain
Nothing compares to the love you had for me and my brother
I regret taking those late nights talking for granted
Guess I always thought you was going to be there
You used to tell me “One day everything will change”
I didn’t expect things to change so quick
What I wouldn’t give to have one more conversation with you
You was supposed to teach me about boys
You had my back when nobody else did
You was my best friend
Most importantly my dad
My only dad
Mother was gone with the wind
But You stayed
Now you’re gone
Damn
..............I miss you
Please come back.
