Gone away
Gone to waste
A victim of the circumstance
That you put in my hands
Can you see my face?
Have I changed?
Do the creases in my brow
Reflect who I am now?
I'm the same scared kid
That clung to your legs
Followed every step you take
I'm just older and colder
Than I was before
Made to face the fact
That you're not here anymore
I can feel your absence every single day
These family things don't feel the same
You won't know my kids
And they'll just know your name
One day your memory will start to fade
I see your face in the crowd more than I'd like
More often now since the day you died
It sets in more with the passing of time
I'll never see you again
Dear Dad of mine
