Ever since the day that I’ve known about you
I’ve always wanted to meet you.
For years I’ve tried to look for you but I never found you.
I always had hopes that one day we would meet
Sometimes at nights when I think that I’m running out of hopes
I cry and cry
Till I fall asleep.
I’ve heard mom talk about you,
And you seem to be a great man,
Then why are you so far away?
I wonder if you ever think of me,
Or if you remember
The two year old Baby Girl that
You saw thirteen years ago.
Yes, I’m still your Baby Girl
But now I’m fifteen years old
Now all my hopes have turned into a dream
A dream about calling you my dad.
A dream about you longing to hold daddy’s little girl.
My only memory that I had of you
Was only a picture in your Military suit
But they have taken that away from me.
Everyone that knows you and me
Say that I look so much like you
Even mom admits that
I’m an image of you.
I just hope that one day
We see each other again.
I’m becoming a young woman
I wish you were here to see
Everything that I’ve accomplished
And everything you have missed.
Sometimes I write you letters
But I throw them all away
Because I know you won’t ever read them.
I wonder if you ever think of me
And cry when you realize that we are apart
Just like I do
I wonder if you ever have dreams about your daughter
Just like I dream about my father every silent night.
I wonder if you wonder how I look
Just like I do
I wonder if you love me
Because I know I do.
