We are not perfect,
We make mistakes,
We screw up!
I know that now dad,
I know that!
I want you to know I miss you,
I need you to come home.
I forgive you.
I know none of what happened between mom and you had anything to do with us,
I know that now dad,
I know that.
I know you love us
And my heart is heavy
For I know your heart is heavy
Because you miss us,
Just like I miss you.
I know you wish things were different,
But they’re not,
They may never be,
And that breaks what’s left of your heart a little more.
I miss you,
I really do.
I miss the starry nights with you,
The literature lessons with you,
The football games we watched,
The bits of wisdom you shared,
Your awesomeness when things were good,
Your vulnerability every time you failed us,
And I need you to know I forgive you!
I forgive you for feeling like leaving us that day was the only option you had,
That you were so scared of failing us you left us to burn,
That you broke our hearts even before we had a taste of the world,
And that the guilt haunts you so bad you can’t bring yourself to face us,
But we forgive,
And we move forward…..
Can we please?
Me and you we had a different language,
A love that we always shared,
And I know you miss us just as much…..
So can we please?
