Alive part 19

It was just a little city with faded colors, but it all made my eyes throb. I hated this place. My whole life was spent here.
The life Daddy promised to be beautiful and alive with love. My face followed those memories towards the sky. I opened my eyes to see the gray clouds and hideous dull blue color around it.
Absolutely everything about it had no purpose. Past the sky was where my dad was.. rotting away in heaven. He wasn’t in a better place. We needed eachother to breathe and for every beat that took place in our hearts.
“I’m coming for you Daddy.. real soon” as the rain interrupted my words by crashing into my lips.
He obviously didn’t want me there with him, he wanted me here.. being happy.
I looked back down at my feet. The rain was colliding with the ground harder than I had imagined.
The bus stop was around the block, not that that should have mattered. I reached into my back pocket to reach for whatever money was there.
Hmm, twenty five dollars, two quarters, and a dime.
“For you, Dad.”
