Changes Happen

Things have changed Thats for sure I never thought I'd feel this way I want to smile Through all the tears I've lost someone So dear to me And your here Holding me As I try to breathe As I try to cope I had always hoped He'd never leave me He'd never go away But now he's gone I'll never see him again I'll never again Get to tell him I love him Never again Get to put my arms around him I have to watch As my mother breaks down As she watches My grandmother break down A vicious cycle A constant reminder Of what we've lost A horrible feeling Washes over me I'm growing up I'm getting older I complain about my age I forget those older than me But now it hits me As I watch my mother cry Over her fathers coffin Does my daddy know? Does he know how much I love him Does he know how much I'd miss him Does he know he's my inspiration... I doubt he does I don't know what stops me Why don't I tell him Come on just say it But I won't I know I won't I can only hope I do Before I'm standing over his coffin Wishing I had told him Wishing I had hugged him more Talked to him more Spent more time together Daddy, I Love you
