His eyes, why does it tell me "you're safe," every time I look at them? Why do I get 'Teleported' to a world where just you and I would exist? When I’m with you, why the sudden feeling of peace? As if all my troubles had just disappeared? Because when you leave me here and move on with your job again, I’m going to be stuck here with just the images of your blue eyes, deeper than any ocean, clearer than Sapphire, and more loving than any other.

Now I feel peace, a sense of having someone who cares, when you're here near me, but all this will just fade away the next minute, when you decide to leave me here and move away. I could beg you not to leave me again , to be here so I’ll have someone to share my happiness with , someone to tell me "it's ok" every time I’m broken , to hug me when I’m lonely , and to sit besides me at lunch and just talk , but like every other time you'd just say ,"I'll lose my job if I don't leave now , and who'll pay the bills then ?" and you give me a frown , turn around and walk away.

You're not the first to leave me , but I never knew the others who left , not the woman with golden hair , not the boy with curly eyelashes , both of whom you talk about when you're drunk , you are special, you always were , it was always us against the world , and now it's just me.

You give me excuses , lots of them , every time I came to you because I wanted to talk you've told me that you're busy , and there you sit till midnight working on the computer , typing on our noisy keyboard , but then I wait ,,,, I wait to be told ,"baby , I’m tired right now can we talk tomorrow ?".

I've never asked for anything much , but to find some time for me to talk to you , but your career , like a dark cloud , stands above our family.

I could keep going but it would look as if I’m complaining, I know the little things will never matter to you anymore, but when you're done with that board meeting, I'll be here waiting, with my blue eyes all filled up, and my golden hair tied back the way you always ask me to, just to hug you and tell you how much I love my Father.
