You Saw Me

You saw me.
The whole me. You saw me at my peak of happiness you saw me at my weakest.
 Your words were the one things that help me up when I fell and made me wipe tears away that 
never failed to fall.You saw me when I was innocent. I am still your little girl but I have grown up 
since you last saw me and the innocence is fading.  I know the difference between right and 
wrong because of you; you use to recite war stories of your childhood. I used to sit there and 
listen. Daddy's little girl. Than I had a shoulder to lean on, one that would never let me fall. You 
saw through the surface and into the deep.My eyes tell stories and you were the only one who 
could read them. Whose going to see me now? I don't think anyone will ever see me how you 
use to now that your gone.
