when i was born you were there.
when i almost died as a baby you were there.
when i watched my first football game you were there.
when i got my first bike and learned to ride you were there.
when i hit my first home run you were there.
when i pitched my first no hitter you were there.
when i scored my first basket you were there.
when i drove my first nail you were there.
when i drove for the first time you were there.
when i got my first ticket you were there.
when i woke up at 16 you were gone.
when i had my first kid you were gone.
when i graduated high school you were gone.
when i needed you the most you were gone.
you never told me bye you just left.
you never tell me when youre gonna be around.
you never call you never write you never care.
you taught me the one thing that a person should never learn that when you love someone they leave.
you taught me to not trust and to keep my heart closed.
you taught me that when im down i have to pick myself up cause im the only one that will be there for me.
now i am opening up to a whole new world i am trusting a special person who i hope will never walk out on me.
to all this dad i ask now that i dont need you where are you now?
