To say I am sorry, doesn't even begin to tap into how I feel
If you know nothing else about me, know what I say is real
I've never known the truth, lies were covered up only by more lies
Never did it occur to me that your heart had been broken, that you were the one who cried

I never felt a connection with you, that's not to say it wasn't there
Just when I use to think of your face or memory, my heart only felt bare
Now I realise how wrong I was, I wish I could turn back the time
I'd undo the years of pain you must have suffered, I'd give you back your peace of mind

I guess in a way we are lucky though, we could have missed our chance all together
As the saying often goes, better late than never
Where do we proceed from here, now what are we suppose to do?
I wish that things had been different, and I am sure that you do too

Today I found out the truth about you
Before this I honestly hadn't a single clue
Now I really don't feel that bad
Knowing in a way, I have a Dad

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Nice set-up, when I started reading I wanted to finish. Glad I did.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

thank you for replying. it means a lot to
me. about a week ago I was in touch with
my biological father who I've not seen
since I was 5 years old. I'm 26 now. As
some of you know I was adopted when I was
six. I had started doing some research
to find out more about my family, past,
etc. I am now going tomorrow to see him
and some other members of my biological
family. I am both nervous & excited, happy
and scared. It felt good to be able to
write out some of my feelings though. thanks
again.
take care.
