Can you fill the gaps?

I said good bye to daddy,
as I packed the car to leave,
he just smile and said good luck
not a kiss or a hug for me.

I hugged my mother,
and whispered how much I'd miss-
all the things she did for me-
I gave her one last kiss.

I held my sister with my eyes
How much she has grown
and now I leave with her
a letter of advice...

My bothers look at me
and care not how long I will be gone
at three and eight,
they care little for time and its length.

When I got into my car,
loaded with supplies
I waved good bye to my home
and headed toward a new life...

I felt like a child,
calling my mother that night-
but in reality it wasn't her I missed
it was someone to hold me tight

In lack of everything-
You have filled the gaps
Your the one who holds me now
and the little girl cries not-

In spite of the reality
I have dreamed of this...
Jake one day grandpa will die
and I'll be left without him.

I know you think you love me
but I wounder could you fill the gap?
when we leave for college-
When we take that next step-

will you be there with me?
will you fill that gap?

*these are somewhat the questions I have been asking myself latly. I know they dont make much sence and the hole thing isent realy real. Its just a time and a place I will someday be, and I was contemplating what will happen next...*
