Did You Know?

You were like a father to me. You were far from a simple teacher. You were a mentor, a gentleman, a friend, even a father figure at times. There were the times you taught me my lessons; there were the times you helped me through life; there were times we talked like old pals, acting as friends; and then, then there were the time we bonded - like father and daughter. Sure, you had a family of your own, but in band and at school, I always got the feeling you like pretending I was your little girl. I like that. We had so much in common. We could talk for hours. It's just how we were.

Then, just like that, you were taken from me. Due to circumstances - I'll never see you again. And that kills me. I miss you, and it's been like hell trying to live without you.

I hope you knew … know I love you. I hope you remember that a few days before you left I hugged you. I hope you kept that Christmas card in which I thanked you for everything you've ever given me near you. Really … I hope you know I care. I always will.

I hope you know that. Did you?

As for you ;

Due to circumstances, you've taken charge. I know this isn't supposed to be your duty, but now it is. I always knew I liked you. I always knew I had a connection with you. What I didn't know, is that I would need your loving and caring nature so much.

I've been a mess and luckily for me, you've been there. You've listened to me vent, you've seen my cry, quite frankly - you've seen me at my worst. I wished you'd never have to see me this way, but thankfully, you've been a doll. You've listened. You've related. And yes … I saw you tear-up too. Basically, you've cared. And that's meant the world to me.

I hope you've realized I care too. I hope you realized I'm worried about you too. I hope you've realized how thankful I am, even though I don't say it enough. Can you see I miss him? Can you see I loved him, like my father? Can you see I cared for you too? There isn't a real word for what I think and feel about you - but we'll settle for love and admiration.

I hope you know all this. Do you?
