Written for my twin daughters, who I haven't seen in five years. |
I thought I was done with the tears But, what would I know about me Just getting by...from day to day Imagining if I had done things a different way Thoughts that only serve regret And it's been too long for that now Acceptance is a hard pill to swallow But, time provides just enough drink to get it down Every now and again I feel it coming When something reminds me of you Averting the emotions is futile And if I am alone...I cry I was a strong man once upon a time You would look up at me and I would smile at your beautiful face Those days are now just a distant memory And I am over it...or so I keep saying The truth is, things will never be the same Like the days you were by my side I tell myself I am better off anyway But, I know in my heart that's a lie I gave you life...you gave me joy I taught you much...but you taught me so much more Life isn't about the gifts we give It's about love and appreciating the time we have I miss you more than a cool breeze More than I ever knew I could Now, it's time to put these feelings away Until next time my thoughts return to you |
