Six months after you died
I dreamt that I saw you
Standing down at the end of the old Lamlash Pier
Staring out at the water
You didn’t know I was there
I stood and I watched you
Tried to stay as still as I could
Fought the urge to run up and hug you
Letting it go
I am letting it go
Letting it go
I am letting it go
I felt myself waking up
So I panicked and yelled out
“Am I ever going to see you again?”
And you said
“No, probably not.”
And I woke up feeling mad
Mad at you for the answer
Mad at me for projecting
So much weight on to a dream of my father
Letting it go
I am letting it go
Letting it go
I am letting you go
