I never knew
Your dad and
Now that he’s
Gone I never
Will but I
Can promise you
This if he
Made such a
Marvelous man like
You he must’ve
Been even more
Marvelous please say
Both my hello
And goodbye to
Him for me
I never knew
Your dad and
Now that he’s
Gone I never
Will but I
Can promise you
This if he
Made such a
Marvelous man like
You he must’ve
Been even more
Marvelous please say
Both my hello
And goodbye to
Him for me
Oh in love
I’m a child
On his first
Bike all wobbly
Steadied by another
Eventually pushed glide
For a bit
Then fall skinning
Hearts and elbows
I try again
Remembering the feeling
Of flying and
Fall many times
Eventually I will
Ride with freedom
Protecting my elbows
And my heart
And oh damn
Just as we
Started the news
Came of goodbyes
But they weren’t
Ours they belong
To someone else
Apart we are
But now closer
Than together mourning
Your painful loss
I’m still here
Right here where
You left me
Say your goodbyes
Then come back
To your hello
The hardest goodbyes
Are those unsaid
Like being underwater
You never had
The chance because
He left too
Soon let your
Heart bleed now
For the dead
Can hear the
Souls silent weeping
And today you’re
Farther away than
Far heading west
Like the sun
Taking your warm
Glow with you
Moored here I
Call but you’re
On a journey
Of good byes
Say them and
Return to me
Like spring after
The winters deadness
