Dear Dad,

My heart aches when I think of you
Is it true?
Is it true that my feelings are right
That your love for me was black and white

If that was the case,
Our love has surely been erased
And our relationship has come to a halt
And I believe it was both of our faults

But, you must conceive
That what I believe
Has nothing to do with us
And thus,  
Maybe, soon, we could be alright

I need you in my life
But I need a life without strife
Is it possible to have both?
