Is It Too Late

Dedicated to my dad not that I have the courage to say all of this to him. Maybe it is too late.

I miss you
I really do
I know I said I never want to see you
But that's not true
I really miss you
I miss the way you used to sit me on your knee
And tell me stories of when you were a kid
I miss the times you wiped my tears away
And tell me it will be okay
I miss the excitement
Of when you used to come home
The long wait by the door
I miss those times
Though they were rare
I still hold onto them
And treasure them dearly
I know I said I didn’t care
But is it too late to say
I really miss you daddy
