It was a loss I feared,
It is a loss I live,
It was the loss that can never be filled,
It is the loss that gave me maturity,
It was a love I lost,
It is a love that I feel bereft of till date,
To relive those memories brings tears to my eyes even after so many years,
Even if I live a hundred years my eyes will get teary when I think of him.
I lost you the way I have never lost anything as precious.
Your love for me was so intense that it lives on after you,
It is this love I blame when my tears just won't dry,
Sometimes I wish you had not loved me so much,
Those are the times I hate myself the most.
The dreams have stopped,
But the memories have not faded.
Time has passed,
But your love for me still feels intense.
I pray every daughter has a father like you,
But in my heart I know no-one can match your love.
