20 years.
It's been 20 years since I have seen you
You left us when she was five
When our dog was still in his prime
And I fought those around me
I told them you would come back
I told them you loved me
And they told me to move on
I haven't
But you clearly have.
Our dog is long gone
And I had no way to find you
No way to tell you.
But when she left too...
I knew you didn't want to be found
That's why I never found you
And believe me I tried.
But when she left too...
I pulled everything I could.
I finally found you.
You showed up a day late
A dad who missed his only daughter's funeral.
But she wasn't your only daughter
And I wasn't your only love.
You show up here
20 years later.
And you still never said goodbye to her.
