All I have in my eyes are the memories, Of the moments we shared together, All I have in my mind are the images, Of your smiling face that gather, The bits of my broken heart, Bringing me back altogether. I see my sadness shatter, When you climb the ladder, That leads to my soul, And then you take me, In your fatherly arms, Caressing my forehead, All these gestures of yours matter, To me more than all the treasure, Of this world and hereafter. Your eyes question how I've been, Eyes so full of unconditional love, Making me feel so much better, Giving vent to my overflowing emotions. O father, only you could see, The unbearable pain inflicted, By the never-forgiving ruthless world, On your little baby girl, Once whose cry couldn't let you sleep, Can't stop crying remembering you. Only you could feel the longing, I had hidden in my heart, For the past 17 long years, To meet you and tell you, How much I've been missing you, To narrate all that happened so far, To show you all that I achieved, And what all I couldn't, How much I had evolved, And how far I had come. No one could ever take your place, Or fill the empty space, That you left in my life, Making it hollow from inside. I have had enough of missing you, Can't wait any longer, To see you and meet you again, This time never to be separated, Because that world is forever.
