How many days.....

A whole country seperates us, I'm to the east and you're to the west.
We barley get to see each other, but the times we did were the best.

You called on me late one night, while the others were sound asleep.
You pulled me into your office, sat in your chair and began to weep.

"Princess," you said through tears, "I love you with all my heart."
Frightened and worried I ask, "Dad, what's tearing you apart?"

You stood and held me tight, "I am going to tell you something sad.
Just know I love you and always will, and never forget the times we had.

"I was diagnosed with cancer today.", you wepped into my black hair.
Time slowed with my heart beat, as I felt something inside me tear.

Tears filled my eyes and I held you, wondering how many more time we can hug.
Weeks pass and we still fear, you have stopped drinking from your "Father's Day" mug.
