I Miss My Dad


Dear Dad, Today is your birthday, took me by surprise as
always, just like it did when you were alive.
can still hear your voice, full and warm and rich
and laughing, when I read the poems we used to
read together, or the stories, or shakespeare. I
finished the story we started together, I only
wish you could have stayed to help me, wish that
we could sit and talk, like we did before. I miss
you so much sometimes it hurts to breath,
sometimes I just want to curl up in a ball and
die. My head still jerks up when I pass a white
blazer, the old instinct to see if it was you
driving, and I blink back tears when I catch
myself. I love you so much, and miss you so much,
and I know you'll always be here with me, but
it's just not the same.
Love,
Pooh
