Dear Daddy

Dear daddy, I woke up today and you were gone, I stood by the window and waited. I looked out beyond the lawn, I expected you to come home any moment and it made me motivated. But the longer I waited the more I came to know, you were not coming back. The longer I waited the more the tears began to flow, the day began to turn black. Day turned to night, yet still I waited in hope. You may return one day you just might, without you I don’t know how I’ll cope. I need my daddy here by my side, tucking me in bed with a kiss goodnight. I need my daddy acting as a guide, when things get dark he’s my shining light. But I realise now, I think I always knew. I just didn’t know how, to accept it was true. You’re not coming back to me, you’re gone for good. It was just too hard to see, that it was always a likelihood. Dear daddy, years have passed by, but still you remain in my heart. Every day I can’t help but cry, knowing how long we’ve been apart. I hope you’re doing well, I miss you so much. This is where I say my farewell, what I wouldn’t give for one last touch. I’ll love you forever, my love is unlimited like water. My love for you will never stop whatsoever, love from you daughter.
