The old man's heart pained
He stared blankly into his phone
It had not rang for a long time
Days had turned into months
Since his son drove off in the middle of the night
He had not heard from him

He dared to question his son's love life
He tried to understand his boy's choice
Why would he want to move in with someone's wife
He prayed that he'll come to his senses

The young shouted and argued with his dad
He was in love and that's all that mattered
She was his world
All he ever wanted
Dad shook his head as he watched his boy disappear into the night
He started his truck , gone

The old man missed the days when they fished together
Times when sat cross each other around the camp fire
When he took his little boy to support the local team

Now he had become his own man
He did not need his dad to hold his hand anymore
This left his old man heartbroken
Not since he had lost his wife, had he felt like this
Losing his boy was too much to bear
He contemplated. It crossed his mind
But he said , just one more day
He might just come back .
