I Miss You Papa

I miss you Papa

                  by: Ynamaezing

"Missing you is like drinking a cup of coffee without sugar 'pa-et kaayo' (so bitter)"

'Twas sunset and everything was constant

and I saw you alone from a distant

walking in a park, under the gloomy sky

It's you, I'm sure. Though the place was dark

Happily, I run to your direction

I shout your name to catch your attention

and heard not even a single word

you didn't look back, it hurts like a wound

I wish I could hug you so tight, too bad

but your shadow slowly faded in mud

tears gently run to my face, oh why

"I miss you papa" that's what I wanted to say

I dedicated this poem to my late dad, who passed away last May 19, 2017.

There's no single day that I wouldn't be missing him and remembering our happy times.
