Dear Dad,
Tell me what's the purpose of my life, why am I here?
I can see no sunshine, and the roads don't look clear.
How am I going to survive the storms running inside my mind?
No one is around to hold me close, to tell me everything will be fine.Hey son!
I know there are a lot of questions and right now you're in pain.
But tell me how often do you see rainbows without a little rain.
I know you will survive every storms because you're my son.
I promise I'll be there with you, but do make some friends, have fun.I don't know how this world will treat me, I can't even pretend to be fake.
How am I going to open up my heart, when everyone's busy in finding mistake?
No one treats me like a human, they just pretend that I'm dead.
My presence don't count anywhere, and they laugh at me instead.Son you just gotta understand even the Sun and Moon go alone.
And no matter how profound you are, you'll never be enough for everyone.
Treat people as you are, never apologize for being true.
People usually hate you when they can't be like you.Dad, you know I miss you so much and every second passes like an hour,
Seems like I need you more than ever, because your presence gave me power.But son, life is meant to be lived, live every moment till it's the last.
I am sorry that I hurt you boy, but you can't live forever in the past.Dad, do you remember the last summer, we used to go on ride through the night?
Also when we kept waiting for you to be home, so that we could be together in delight?Hey son, I remember every summer I spent with you and even all the night rides.
How could I forget being with you, and all those memories we made sitting besides?to be continued...
