When you left to go get your things,
Your dad looked up and found me.
I couldn't not say hello,
So I walked towards him hoping he couldn't see my true emotions.
He pulled me in for a tight hug,
He kissed my cheek,
And asked me like he knew, "Are you okay? How are you?"
I tried my best to put on a smile,
And I said I've been fine.
But I've never been much of a liar.
He looked at me with that stern look,
And I tried to lighten up the conversation by talking with my friends.
But I could see him in the corner of my eye,
And I knew then that he could see right through me.
After I was done putting on the show
We said our goodbyes.
He pulled me in for another hug,
Another kiss on my cheek,
And said "We all really miss you. You're always welcome Rachel."
I tried my best to be okay,
I truly did.
But even the Xanax couldn't calm me down today.
