I can't believe it happened
So unexpected, and so fast
Just like that we were standing face to face
Flooded by our past

My mother scoffed and turned away
My sister huffed stormed off with a glare
But I found myself immoble
And all I could do was stare

You smiled and you hugged me
I know I must have felt so stiff
Observing me one over you said
'Honey, you haven't changed a bit'

My eyes well up with tears
I know I won't let stream
'Hey dad, how's it going?'
Ohmigawd, I'd like to scream

We talk about your new wife
And the son by your side
I can't help but feel pity
I recognize the pain held in his eyes

I introduced you to my best friend
He refused to shake your hand
He's listened to my ranting before
And unlike you he understands

Then came the awkward silence
I knew I'd have to face
Suddenly and without warning
I'd slapped you on your face

'How dare you pretend
That anything's alright
How quaint that you've forgotten
What you did to me that night'

And like the coward you've always been
Without a word you walked away

Everybody that's what happened
When I saw my dad today
