Dad you were the one that was always there for me
The one who would make me laugh when tears were falling down my face
The one who knew when something was wrong even though I never told you
The one who stayed with me when the day was at its end
Then one who taught me how to live my life
The one who tried to give advice even though you never knew what was really happening
You always told me that I would grow apart from you
You always told me that I wouldn’t want you around any longer
I had no idea how such a thing could be possible
But guess what dad at the end you were always right
And now when everything is lost, I realize my flaws
I’m sorry it took so long for me to come to reality
I’m sorry I grew up too fast
I’m sorry you had to be right
And now after I put you through all that pain
I’m the one left crying
And it’s no one else’s fault but my own selfishness
And at the end of it all, all I have it regret
