Don't act like I didn't try.
"Do you wanna go to Goodwill with me, dad?" You said no, not knowing you hurt our relationship. You say no each and every time. "Do you wanna go get froyo dad?" No. You say no each and every time. each time puts a crack in our relationship. each time puts a crack between us just thickening until we are far apart. Don't say I didn't try dad. I tried. "Will you play dolls with me, Daddy?" You said no. That was the last time I ever asked you again. I was a little girl wanting her daddy to pay attention to her. Now I'm a teenager wanting her fathers attention once again. Wanna watch a movie? Can I play games with you? Wanna go to the park? Can you teach me this? Can you please have one conversation with me...please dad. Don't act like I didn't try. Please don't do that. Please don't ignore me Daddy, I'm still that little girl inside, just wanting her daddy to play dolls with her or teach her how to ride a bike. Please don't ignore me. Please don't act like I never tried.
