I'm Still Waiting (this is for my dad)

I'm still waiting
For you to start explaining
What was going on
When you left me
My bro and my mom
Cuz I don't remember anything back then

I'm still waiting
For you to start explaining
Even more about how you felt
When you felt you had to leave

I'm still waiting
For us to find a way to connect
Like we did before you left

I'm still waiting
For the day
That I can say
That I forgive you and myself
That I'm no longer fighting how I feel
That I mean it when I say that it's okay
That I don't wake up on my birthday wondering if any of this is real

I'm still waiting
For the day
That the tears don't roll down my face
When it's close to my birthday

I know how this feels, really. I wake up on my birthday questioning as well. All it takes is acceptance... You really can't control anything he did/does.. If only it worked out like that. I hope you get your answers. ~Amber

My dad & I are distant, but there are still many unresolved past issues. I had to realized my anger & bitterness only hurt me...I had to accept I couldn't change him...it is SO hard! I wish you luck in dealing with this!

You'll never get everything worked out, but in time you will learn to accept that this is your reality...that's all. There really never is resolution for something like that, just acceptance and the knowledge you didn't have any more control over that

Well, this one I plan on following up on with another one once I get EVERYTHING worked out. A lot of it is, but there're still some things that I need to work out.

I'd like to hear from my pops. For a long time, I was angry at him. Now I just want to know if he's even okay.

Well, most people wait forever I suppose. I gave up on mine some time ago.
