The thing about my dad

The thing about my dad is,
He was an asshole 
Except he wasn’t. 
The only hole he was was wholehearted 

The thing about my dad is, 
He was selfish 
Well sometimes 
Except he did a lot for other people 

The thing about my dad is, 
He was mean all the time 
Except he wasn’t really 
Unless he was telling me off 

The thing about my dad is, 
He didn’t really care 
Except he would have given me anything I wanted 
If he had the chance 

The thing about my dad is, 
I didn’t think he would be so hard to miss 
Except he is 
Because I miss him all the time
