You weren't there all that much when I was growing up, and my feelings for you I have kept shut up. But I miss you, I miss you, I miss you like mad. Oh I so wish I could tell you all these feelings I have. I've had therapy and help for all the years of pain. I just hope that one day we can gain. Something better than what's gone before. But I can't talk to you, as I feel I'm a bore. Your world is so busy, and you have a new life, new kids and a new wife. I want to be a part of it, but try as I might. I just don't fit in, it doesn't feel right. It's such a shame though, and I know I'll regret. The time that we've lost and the memories all spent. I've moved on now and changed. Though I still love you, it'll never be the same. The past is the past, it's history now. I still wish that I could change it somehow. I'm as bad as you for not keeping in touch. It still doesn't mean I don't love you this much. To the moon and back and then some more. All around the universe on a magical tour. I get sad sometimes when of these things I think. Maybe that's what's driven me to drink... For now I'll continue to just write away. It's the only way I know to get my thoughts stop to play. I feel bad, for I know, I'm going to regret what I've lost. What we've missed out on, what it may cost. One day I know you'll be gone from this earth. Ashes to ashes, dust to dirt. Maybe tomorrow I'll pick up the phone. Give you a ring, see how you're getting along. I should do this, I know I must. Our relationship has gone to rust. Oxidized over the years. This has always brought me to tears. Oh well, what more can I say? I love you, you love me, at the end of the day. We just find it hard to express our feelings I guess. At least to one another at best. Here it is now, down in black and white. Whether or not you see it, it's said and goodnight.

I love you Dad.
