Unsent letter from Papa

Dear ______ ,

I am always worried about you

Deep inside this heart of steel

Would always be a father who cares about his child

I always wish your birthdays with laughter

And hope to be with you on a summer

But some wishes don't really come true

And mine were just nothing new.


I might not be by your side

And you've never seen how much I cried

When that one situation broke our happy illusion

Even if I untie the strings or make a cut

There is no solution

I just don't want to see you saddened

Because this heart broke your mom's and yours

Even if everyday you see those broken plates on the floor

Is it wrong if I could ask a little more

I don't want you to hurt that's why

Everyday I chose to lie

I don't want to show you

My melting heart and the monster inside me

I just want you to stay with me.


In the night when I sleep

We were dreamers

Singing our favorite song

And forgotten how much—we took so long

And it would always make me strong

To keep moving on

Even though you're not by my side

I always think if you are happy

And won't be scolded because you are clumsy

I would always try to call you even at midnight

Beer's with me and I would always try to tell you what I did right.

I'm sorry if sometimes I can't tell you the things I must tell you

Because I am afraid you'll hate and leave me too

I don't want to lose the most precious person I only have and that's you.

I have did so many wrongs

I don't want our favorite songs to become sad songs

When in fact it already become one

I don't want to sing lonely songs to you

I'm sorry I told you things I should never do

I wish I could bring back our past

Because that's the only clinging memory we have to last

The most beautiful one

When everything's perfect

And now what have I done.


Love, 

Papa
