Never Got To Tell You

I always told you how I felt.
I never held things back.
I shared my love with you openly.
A hug, a kiss, even a peck.

I told you how my days went.
I told you things others never heard.
I called you up to just share jokes.
I told you every word.

Before you left, I used to have this same dream.
Over and over, it played like a rerun.
I told Mom what it was about, and how it scared me.
She told me, "You need to tell him Hun."

Days went by, and turned into weeks.
I still didnt think it would happen, but it did though.
I've always felt this way about you Dad, but never got to tell you.
You're my best friend, I love you with all my heart, and you are my hero.
