A long awaited conversation

  Words of lines. Lies. All trickle
down my memory. Want so badly to
erase yet here I sit wondering why
I didn't just forgive, forget.

  Oh say yes. Say yes to a long
time coming conversation. To sit and
listen, to sit and explain. Oh how I
want to know, to finally understand.

  Sad stories to cease their ugly
drum rolling. The soothing sound of the
truth soaking deep into my spirit.

  Oh how I am grateful for the
patience given.

   A moment I waited decades
for, perhaps this shall be the
day?

  Did you think of me today?
Did thoughts trickle deep inside
your mind? Is that why you
called? Only to say "hi - checking
up on you, love dad."

   Only, just a few years ago
I wasn't even a glimmer in your
eyes, and today I am?

   Did I forgive of faults? Yes. Did
I forget, erase my past with you? No.
However, dear father, I am ready
for a new start, if you can find
in spirit to allow, to choose me as
your daughter once more.
