I fell asleep reading our conversations on my phone, I touched your name on the screen and contemplated giving you a call; It seemed the natural thing to do After all, I was really missing you.
Then everything became a blur as tears flooded my eyes When I remembered just last Sunday, we said our goodbyes. You fought hard, you were in so much pain I knew I had to let you go and ask God to take you away. I just didn't think it would be before I could hug you last, Or kiss you on the cheek like I used to in the past.
I wanted to tell you how loved you were And apologize for all the headaches an imperfect daughter gave her father. But I couldn't be selfish, you were suffering so -- Papa, I had to let you go. I wasn't ready nor will I ever be, But I hope there in heaven you're smiling down on me. You're finally free where you wanted to be, I'm sure you had your reasons why you couldn't wait for me.
I love you papa, I say a prayer for you everyday Rest in peace and I'll see you up there in heaven someday. Until then forgive me for letting the tears fall, I can't help it, you've been my hero since I was small. I know you'd want me to smile and maybe I will again someday, Because even if you're gone, in my heart you'll always stay.
