I can't remember your face.
It's like you're invisible now...


But there's no time to waste
I am older now —
I shouldn't be thinking of you.

Once upon a time you,
were my one and only view.


But that's the thing...
I've never been able to tell you,
how angry I am with you.

Now I can't remember even the slightest.
But there's a part of me that wished I remembered,
and that longing only grew.

"Why did you leave your family behind?"
"Did you not love us anymore?"


Well, I'm sorry if that's the case,
I would have never wanted to be a burden ruining —your life.


No —
that would have caused too much strife.


Now, what can a girl do?
If all she wanted was a father too...
