Never Forgotten

You're my dad, and I miss you so,
And I've decided to let you know.

I haven't seen you since '97,
The night I thought we were off to heaven.

Whether you remember or not,
I won't you to know, I've not forgot.

I have forgotten your laugh and your smile.
Just goes to show that it's been a while.

I'm so afraid to speak to you,
But I need to hear you love me, too.

I think about you in my dreams,
But your face is farther than it seems.

But the dream my mind still told,
Will never add up to one more hold.
