I see her in the distance.
In my thoughts she dwelled.
Seemingly unreachable but I being the man I am, was determined to stretch both arms out as far as I can to try to obtain her.
To shelter her from the world long enough for her to know that I am there for her.
Long enough for her to know that I love her with every fiber of my being.
I see her in the distance.
Falling like a wilted flower petal.
Determination turns to pain, pain into sorrow.
I finally reach her but it’s too late.
She’s gone.
She never had a chance to make an impact on this world.
Never had a chance to breathe, to love then to have loss then to love again.
Never had a chance to watch her dad question every boyfriend she brings home.
She never had a chance to be my little girl.
