You came to me and curled up in my arms
not saying anything as the tears run down your cheek.
I look at you and pull you close 
telling you quietly "I'm here, it will be alright"
you stay quiet except the occasional sob.

Running my fingers up and down you back
just holding you tight until your ready to talk
Knowing that if I push, you will just get angry 
and no one benefits from that,
so I just stay quiet and softly kiss your cheek.

I know what I think happened 
as this occurs from time to time
its days when you miss your dad so bad 
and you just don't want to be alone.

Knowing myself what it's like
to lose a parent and to feel alone and lost. 
So no matter what time of day or night 
if you need someone to be here 
its where I'll be, if that is what you want.
