My father cannot be replaced, no, never. But, you’ve seemed to squirm into his old position. He made bad choices and blames us for the non-existing happily ever after. But you have made my happily ever after come true. No, you are not my father and you never will be, but you are a replacement. A replacement that will not need to be replaced. You have felt the pain probably more than I have. Because you were the one who has known him your whole life. But now, you don’t. He has disappeared and you have no longer known him your whole life. He has disappeared. He may wash up one day. Out of nowhere come back into my life. A treasure that has washed up from the ocean floor. But I’d rather that treasure stay buried beneath the sand. With it’s hidden love that doesn’t seem to shine through. With it’s brainless mind that made it make all the choices he has. The brainless mind that made him leave me. I no longer want him in my life. I don’t care what people say. But, I know I have you. My other, real treasure.
