father, they've asked about you
"Why don't you talk to him?"
"What do you mean they aren't together?"
oh I gladly explain, oh I know.
oh dear, let me sleep at night.
same old, gasp and solemn smile
yes I know how that feels
but is his presence missing? Never.
you can't just shut me out and
forget me like a batch of cookies in the oven.
I am still your family and they are just distant relatives.
