To my late dad;
And sincerely I regret,
for if today I was swept away
I'll wish I had the time to say
all the things you'd never expect.
Truly I say sorry;
For always running away
while still pretending to stay
and acting as if you were there
when you never were.
For the nights I was alone,
All on my own,
a very long time ago,
but now you'll never know
For all the times I failed to reach out
filling your heart with useless doubt
when all that time
you were always on my mind.
For when you said "I love you"
and I wanted to say it too,
but being a coward I was,
I let the moments go in a rush.
For all the warm hugs
Forehead kisses
absent minded smiles,
which I never returned.
Obassi A-n
Dedicated to late Obassi Enow-Arrung Neanel, no matter what has happened, you are always in my heart, forever and ever.
