I still remember that particular evening,
you stood at my school gate as u always did,
I ran into your arms..my superhero
my wonderful daddy...ready to sing my alphabets,

Princess I am going to work far far away,
I'll be back before Christmas dear,
Take this note and buy toys you said,
my 5 year old self was excited
I believed you daddy...
I believed you would come back for me
and I waited ,I waited every single day ,I still wait for you daddy.

Into thin air you went,
and every night I wept,
Christmas went by,
and I still hoped you'd come by,
and the phone calls stopped,
I eventually stopped hoping.

My hero ,my first love broke me,
Questions never left me,
In my teen years I needed a father,
I don't blame you,
I hope you are of good health and wealth.

It's been eighteen years since you left,
I am all grown up now daddy,
people say I am beautiful and smart daddy,
I heard you have a new family daddy,
I am happy for you daddy,
but we still love you and need you daddy.

You are human after all ,
With the pain you caused me ,
I won't say I am not hurting ,
but I forgive you,
I know ill get to see you oneday daddy.

Nasie...
