How does someone get past not being there
How do you get over missing out
There's no way to turn back the clock
No way to erase the doubt

Did I make the right decision
Leaving my old life behind
To pursue a selfish happiness
I thought I'd never find

Never once did I forget you
I wrote and called and tried
but every step to keep in touch
was bitterly denied

Ironically now here we are
together once again
A father and son
the years passed almost ten

Each day I think of days I missed
of firsts I'll never see
and hope one day you'll understand
so I can forgive me.
