Timothy,
Can you hear me?
Are you asleep, waiting for that day,
or awake,
listening?
 
And do you know,
I know,
I know,
I know, that
I will never find the words
to tell you
how sorry I am
and how I wish
that I could see you
look into your eyes and
tell you how I love you.
 
 
 
I was not ready
when the news came,
thought I could just turn it off
Reached for the quick fix, and
charged it to my credit card
 
end this quickly,
and make sure no one knows.
 
I reasoned it out,
I could not see you,
and I could not be the dad that you’d want
 
could not face the
ones who would
scorn me and say
“hah – you’re not who we thought you were”
and
“you should be ashamed of yourself”
… well I am, and …
“you should have to pay for that now
… well I am, and …
 
I am made the only logical choice
- yeah -
took it all out on the only innocent one.
 
 
------
 
 
So now I sing you this sad lulluby, though I
never even said hello
before I said goodbye
 
and I
 
know and dread and long for
that up and coming day where the one
who holds you
will take away this pain
and though I know
I know
I know
I know
that in the place where you are
there is plenty of forgiveness for me
 
still I
wish that I could see you
look into your eyes and tell you how
I love you,
Timothy
