I Will Always Need You To Come Back
Life is unpredictable.
People tend to be unreliable.
Friends say, this was fun;
Let's do it again sometime.
You meet someone new, they say
We should hang out sometime.
Mom says, I'll see you on the next visit;
Dad says, I'll see you in an hour.
But friends grow apart;
People forget,
Mom gets busy, or yet another
legal battle ensues and visitation
has to stop for awhile;
Sometimes an hour turns into two
Or a bit longer, and eventually
Someone else comes to pick you up
or you hitch a ride, because
Dads are forgetful, and busy at work.
And that's always been okay.
People come, people go;
That's just life.
But you're different.
I will always need you to come back.
Every time. Can you do that for me?
