The Day We Met

looking back on the greatest day of my life i saw you.

it was the day we first met

i knew you were coming to see me and i was scared

we had been anticipating this day for almost a year

i was afraid of you

no i was afraid of not being good enough for you

excitement filled the air when i saw your face
i wanted to touch your soft skin but i held back

you didn't say a word but i felt something i had never felt

i felt love

it was the greatest moment i will ever hold

you had smokey blue eyes and short thin silky blonde hair you were so
beautiful

i am sure you still are

we spent the next year side by side

being with you reminded me of the carefree days of my youth

the first time you kissed my cheek i tried to hold back the tears but i
couldn't

i spent hours just holding you in my arms and forgetting about the world

those hours seem like seconds now

although i have not forgotten a single moment with you

you showed me a softer side of myself and i gave you all i had to give

i am sorry that things didn't work out

i still pray to see you again each night

all my dreams are about you
i have changed since you last saw me

i have grown bitter and hateful towards myself for letting you go so
easily

i will never understand why we parted

the day i left i wish i could have held you and kissed you,
to let you know one last time that i love you

each day i wake you are the first thing i think of

your memory guides me through life
your strength and courage helps me get by

i know you miss me too

all that time that we spent together,
and all the memories we made,

i still never heard you say one thing
and i will long for it for the rest of my life

you never said "i love you"

i know you do but i just want to hear it once that would heal my soul
more than anything

i have never missed a chance to say i love you and i will take the time
now to do so again

I love you devlin, you will always be my son, if you ever need me i am
here for you

no matter what you will always be "daddy's little man"
