As the sun sets and night paints itself in,
I see a little star in your eyes;
A star so bright and its light undying
Just like your love for me.
As I hide in your closet
And smell your shirts,
I feel your presence around me.
It is almost like you never were about to leave me.
As I look at your pictures
And cherish sweet memories,
A candle is lit in my heart;
And nothing in this world can extinguish it.
Because just like your love,
My hope can never diminish.
It is stronger each day.
It is fueled by love; your love.
They say you never know what you have,
Until what you have is gone
But I’m happy you never really went.
You almost did but you didn’t.
Now I know what I have.
I love what I’ve always had.
From now I will cherish every moment,
Especially those moments when I tell you a little secret.
It used to be the hardest thing ever.
But the more I say it, the happier I feel.
So here’s the thing;
Daddy, I love you.
