I miss you
And the term "I can't explain how it feels"
doesn't even hint to my longing for you.

You left without saying goodbye-
not that you had a choice.
But, it would have been nice to hear.

Ever since your passing
every fiber of my being has yearned
for your embrace. But... now impossible.

They don't know how it feels
to lose someone so suddenly, instantly-
without even a moment to blink.

That's why I tell them,
"Don't you dare take (insert name) for granted."
Becasue I did, dad. And, I miss you.
