"See you soon"
And he left
Didn't turn again
It was it.
He said,
"Just look up, I'm always there"
I believed in him
So I did.
"Is Dad home?"
I asked her
She just smiled,
"Look outside"
I looked up
Saw a plane
Waved my hand
As if he could see me.
My faith in him
Was as high as the sky.
He promised
"I'll be back"
Five months is long
But I waited.
I've waived to the sky
Even at midnight.
When I'm sad,
I wear his shirt
Which he said,
"Wear this and you'll feel my warmth"
I've worn it,
Every single day.
I've longed for your warmth
That's real and alive
The day has come
You'd be home
Timing is rude
As well as you
You said you'd be back
Yes you did
Only in cloth
But not with flesh
One day
I remembered you
Everything about you
I just wept 'til I fell asleep
I woke up
With your shirt on
I jumped from my flat
"I'll see you soon, Dad"
