Dear You

I've got some things to tell you
I know you'd want to hear
But you can never listen
and thats my greatest fear
I never got a chance
to tell you that I loved you
I never got a chance
to have just one last dance
I remember the days
standing on your feet
never any music
but still swaying to the beat
I remember baking cookies
and decorating them with care
and you beeming proudly
with a smile in your stare
then you kind of hurt me
and I couldn't yet forgive
I had no idea I'd lose you
or I'd pray that you might live
I survived my first year of high school
and discovered a piece of me
I found a boy worth liking
and I hope he's the one
to get down on one knee
I made the varsity team
and I wished you had been there
for the excitement I contained
I would have loved to share
some say I look like you
others say just like mom
everytime they mention you
my heart feels like a bomb
I really do miss you
I wish I could hold you tight
take care and don't you worry
I know I'll be all right.

The last time I saw my dad was September 10th, 2003. This year on September 14th, 2008, it's going to be the fifth year since I lost him.
