Daddy

I'm not ready for your 
good bye
Nor so long or see you 
later.
I'm not ready for the end
Not ready for this reality.
I'm not ready for this life
One without you in it.
I'm not ready for your 
good bye
Maybe someone else's
Anyone else.
Just not yours
Never yours.
Death doesn't become you
It isn't your best color.
Please remind me how 
your indestructible
Just like we always 
believed .
Please tell me daddy
You will always be my 
best friend.
Tell me you will never 
leave me
And you'll be here till the 
end.
Tell me you will will 
always love me
And that you will stay with 
me.
Knowing that you will be 
gone
Doesn't make it any easier.
I love you this much daddy
Infinity and beyond.
