Daddyfriend

Your heart had a hole I thought I could fix.
Your Dad left when you were only six.
Sends cash but no Christmas card or birthday gift.
After the ball game I offered you a lift,
We talked about everything and I could easily see
You are worth more than you thought you could be.

I’m here for you
When you need a friend,
Call me on the phone,
I can fill the void in your life. . . .

Well, we started so great,
We rode around town till was late,
I loved to see you happy,
It made me happy,
Some said I was too old.
But just think how I’ve made you whole.

I’m here for you,
Come visit me anytime you want
That’s more than anyone else can say.
You need a dad, but you need me, I’m more.
I will feel the void in your life. . . .

I bought an apartment, and you moved in.
I loved to come home to your silly grin,
I’d hold you close until all the sadness was gone.
We snuggled up close and carried on.
I listened to you and you listened to what I said.
I was needed and your needs were fed.

Because I’m here for you,
I will see you through thick and thin,
We’ll work it out and comfort each other,
In the midst of the storm,
I am filling the void in you life. . . .

You started hanging around a guy at school,
I said you shouldn’t. You called me a half mule.
Your friends asked me what I thought,
He thinks I’m controlling you. Well, I’m not.
I’m just protecting you from other guys
Who would take advantage of your crystal blue eyes.

Look how far we have come.
Look at the odds we have overcome,
I’m good for you and you’re good for me.
What else could there be?

I’m feeling so lonely; last night we fought,
Even when you’re here, it’s like you’re not.
And I demand this to stop.
This cross guy is a big flop.
You’ve changed since you met this man of peace,
The time you spend meditating is on an increase.

You’ve fallen in love with not this guy,
But the man he follows.
It’s built a chasm between us,
I feel wronged.

I yelled the day your things were packed.
I said you wouldn’t leave me; it’s only an act.
I thought if you just looked back, you’d stay.
But I was wrong, and you moved away.

So now you are all loved.
I can see you shine.
And I can’t fill the void.
Maybe I never could.
I wish you well,
But I wish you were still mine.
