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.
