Dear Daddy

*My perspective when I was 7 years old*

Daddy I went through your things today
I only did it because I miss you so much
Please don't get mad at me
I wanted to know what it felt like to feel something you once touched

I pulled in the old hat you use to wear
I tried to soak in the smell
I wanted to drown myself in it
Because Daddy I don't know when I can be with you only time can tell

As I went through your stuff
I felt the pain to cry
I don't know how to say this
But I want to be with you in heaven, I only wish to die

I miss how you use to make me laugh
And you made me feel better
I even miss how you yelled at me to stay away from the road
See, Daddy? My eyes only get wetter

I took a picture of you
From Mommy's secret place
I only had it for a little while
But Mommy found out and slapped me in the face

I can't get sad
Because I know she misses you too
But Daddy please come back
I need you here, I love you.
