by Lady Maki
He stood in the door way watching as she place the last of her things in a backpack, she looked up at him and gave him a big smile just like she used as a little girl. He promised her that she could do this, he just didn't know it was going to be so hard on him to see. She stoo and took one last look at her room before taking up the over stuffed backpack and walking past him.
Shes gotta do what shes gotta do
And I've gotta like it or not
He followed her outside and watched as the poor old backpack was thrown into the stuffed car, this was what she's been waiting for, this is she been dreaming about for years and now it was here.
Shes got dreams to big for this town
And she needs to give 'em a shot
Wherever they are
She slowly began to walk back to him her hands deep in the pockets of her coat making him remember her as the little girl she once was. "I'm all packed now, Daddy"
Looks like I'm all ready to leave
Theres nothin' left to pack
How many times in the last few weeks had he thought to see if he could rethink letting her go. How many times in the last few weeks had he thought of her as the child he's raised.
Aint no room for me in that car
Even if she asks me to tag along
Gotta gotta be strong
(Gotta gotta be strong)
"I can do this Daddy you've raised me well" she said standing in front of her father watching him closely.
I'm at the startin line of the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
He knew that she was waiting for something that only he can give her, the one thing that as always meant something to her.
She's waitin' on my blessins
Fore she hits that open road,
Baby get ready,
"Are you ready for this?" he asked asked wanting her at home longer.
Ohh Im ready
She gave him a hug holding on longer just like she used to as a little girl.
Get set,
Don't go.
"this is perfect!"
Looks like things are fallin in place
He didn't think so, this was to much for him to handle, he wasn't the one ready for this. She was the first one he could open up too, he didn't want to leave.
Feels like theyre fallin apart
Im paintin this big ol' smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew
"hey don't start you said I could do this Daddy"
This is where you don't say
What you want so bad to say
He never said a word, yet like always she knew when something was wrong, when something was bothering him, but he did say she could.
This is where I want to
But I wont get in the way
Of her and her dream
And spreadin her wings
her smile went up the her eyes telling him of how much she was ready for this, ready to fly away and be free.
I'm ready to flyyyyy!
This was a big step for her, she was starting her life.
Im at the startin line of the rest of my life
As ready as Ive ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
she's still waiting for something, he just couldn't give it yet.
She's waitin' on my blessins fore she hits that open road,
"come on Daddy I'm not going to make it in time like this"
gotta hit that open road
He nodded not trusting his voice to speak, but she understood.
Baby get ready,
Get set,
Don't go
He wanted to scream as she walked to the car.
Don't goooo!
"I'm making my life Daddy just like you"
Im at the startin line of the rest of my life
As ready as Ive ever been
He knew she was, she was just like him in many ways.
Youll be alrighttt!
The car started, but she didn't get in not yet. "I'm going to be fine"
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
Ill be okkkk!
She's still wait, for what he wasn't sure anymore.
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that open road,
Baby get ready,
"Daddy..."
Oh oh ooooohhh
He looked up with a question in his eyes.
Get set,
Please Don't go
Dont go
"It's time now"
Lemme go know
He didn't move from her side.
Hmmmm Dont go
"I'll be ok Dad, I'll be back"
Ill be alright
Ill be okkkkk
Know that Ill
Be thinkin of you
Each and every dayyyyy
He knew he couldn't keep her all to himself any longer.
Shes gotta do what shes gotta do
"Daddy..."
lemme go now
He moved a little way back.
Shes gotta do what shes gotta do
"I love you Daddy and Thank you for being my Daddy"
I gotta do what I gotta do
Ill be alright
"goodbye my Daughter I love you Rin"
Shes gotta do what shes gotta do
She smilled and got in the car and with one last look at her very sad Adopted Father she pulled out of the long driveway and on to the road, ready to begin her new life and follow her dreams. He stood watching as her car couldn't be seen anymore knowing that it would be at least six months until he saw her again and for all he knew she could be seeing someone at this time. He hopped this was for the best
there I hope you all liked my little one shot, if you see any mistakes let me know I wrote it in a car on the way to Las Vegas for Christmas very bouncy trip.
