You touch me like you have a million times
Just this time is slightly different
Your warm embrace
Brings me to tears
For I know after this hug
I will not see you for awhile
There will be no more late night ice creams
Or breakfasts in bed when I am not sick
There will be no more good morning kisses
Or “see you when I get home from work” s
In my four year old brain I know
This is not my fault
You and mom need some time apart
But my heart is breaking
One last thing before you leave
Always remember I am a princess
And I love you, daddy
