I do love you.

for my dad. i'm sorry

Do you remember?
when you taught me how to fight
when you were the coolest person I knew
when my respect for you bled out of me
when we played video games
when you would "modify" my bedtime stories
when you were genuinely happy

Do you know why?
we don't do those things anymore; beats me
we drifted; age isn't it
my respect from you is getting lost; stand up for yourself
spending time together gets awkward; it's sad
your stories became less frequent; i miss it
all we do is apologize; it wears me down

Do you understand?
how different things are now
how it got to this
I don't
And I'm sorry
Do me a favor?
Go back
change time
fix this
please, dad
please
