Fathers leave.
You know sometimes you can let it go, sometimes you can't.
Do you remember that night the thunder shook the apartment?
I was five; and i thought the lightning was so bright i thought the world was on fire.
i'm all under my covers, crying and you came flying into the room and peek under the covers and decide to make it a game.
you said the lightning was the northern lights.
you made that entire night an adventure until the storm passed.
and i woke up the next morning, and it was a sunny day.
don't you remember that?
"no. i don't."
that's because it never happened.
the storm happened, but you didn't.
Fathers leave.

Fathers leave.
You know sometimes you can let it go, sometimes you can't.
Do you remember that night the thunder shook the apartment?
I was five; and i thought the lightning was so bright i thought the world was on fire.
i'm all under my covers, crying and you came flying into the room and peek under the covers and decide to make it a game.

and i woke up the next morning, and it was a sunny day.
don't you remember that?
"no. i don't."
that's because it never happened.
