I am 1

My first word is "Dad"

I am 8

Holding onto the hope that you'll be there, waiting at the front of my school to pick me up

I am 12

Wondering if he will be there for my awards day, hope he'll be proud of me

I am 19

looking around for you in a crowd at my graduation, hoping you'll show up

I am 20

choosing to finally leave you behind, just like you did

I will be 30

Someday getting married and realising, I'm gonna walk myself down the aisle
