Dad I miss you so much, I wish I could feel your touch, It’s been so long, That feels so wrong, Eighteen years it’s been, Without you to be seen, Why did you have to die, I always ask myself why, I wasn’t ready for you to go, That was something you had to know, You gave me protection, You gave me affection, I lost them both when you went, Took years before I could vent, The pain is still here, Still just as clear, Weighing on my heart, Tearing it apart, Dad why did you go, I wasn’t ready you know.
