No.
I'm not okay.
I miss you, Dad.
Some days I hide it well.
I laugh.
I work.
I answer messages.
I do everything expected of me.
But underneath it all, there is still a child inside me wishing for one more hug.
One more conversation.
One more ordinary day sitting beside you.
People often assume that time heals everything.
But time doesn't erase love.
It simply teaches us how to continue living while carrying an empty space inside our hearts.
Dad, I still need you.
I still wish I could ask for your advice.
I still wish I could hear you tell me that everything will be okay.
And maybe I will never completely stop needing you.
Because love this deep doesn't disappear.
It simply changes shape.
And becomes longing.
