this is for you dad
hope you like it
dear dad,
i think of you when i get up late at night
for a snack, and i search for what to eat
and there happens to be cereal
in a cup
i think of you when i go to brush my teeth and the minty listerine stings me ever so slightly
when i take a shower and remember to always wash behind my ears
(you know, I never understood that. why'd you only ever point out the ears?)
i think of you with every old dvd we have
with every minute i spend, desperately trying to decide what movie to watch
(and it takes many)
when i look up into the sky's and see the lack of stars because when you and i were together they seemed never ending
when i get the chance to wake up
and hear the song of the birds
(so, never)
i think of you in all the little things
that take up my day to day
to day life
you're in my pet peeves
you're in the time i sleep
and you've somehow made your way into my rhymes
you're everywhere but still not here at all
and i hate you
sometimes
not all the times
maybe at 9
at night
(seriously, all of my cousins got to stay up soooo late why'd i have to go to sleep at 9 it was a Friday.)
but i hate you when you show up and you make me bite my tongue because i remember
when things were ok
they're not ok
and i have so many not nice words to say so yea
i hate you dad i do
but this is a love letter so
love,
me !
cause i love you too
