2009

2009.

The year of worry. Then the year of pride.

I almost lost you. Then I found you.

2009.

The year you transformed. Became a different man.

I could finally trust you. I could finally love you.

You were finally "dad". 

2009.

The year you became my inspiration. My motivation.

You became my biggest hero.

But now in the year of 2014,

I've become worried. All pride has gone.

I've lost you once again. You changed back into that other man.

I can't trust you.

I can't love you.

You're not my dad. 

Instead of being the hero,

You've become my biggest heartache.

Why didn't you resist?

Why did you choose to be drunk?

Don't you see what's going on?

Impaired hearing.

Slurred speech.

Blurry Vision.

You don't make any sense.

At this point, you have no sense.

You're on the floor.

You can't even walk through the door.

And I'm just here. 

Staring at you as you drink those last beers.

I can't think. All I can do is feel.

Feel the sadness. 

Feel the pride fly away.

I've lost you...

...I've lost you...

Where is my hero? Why did he go away?
