Carta Aberta

Dad, are you really here?
Can you hear me?
They told me it’s all over
That it was my end
Look at me now

Dad, I can’t accept it
After everything I’ve been through
Looking back and not wanting to go on

It’s past three in the morning
And I’m here crying, just like you cried
Disbelieving, humiliated, overwhelmed
Today I feel this way

I can’t understand your plans
And there are so many
There are so many, for me
Even without hearing your answer
I need to tell you

I’m not leaving here without you
Forgive me for not being able
To be so strong, oh, ohh
So steady, like you were

Please listen to me, my dad
I just need to understand how to be
So strong
So steady, like you were
Teach me to see that it’s not the end

Hey son, it’s been a while, huh?
No, it’s not the end
Hey, I’ve always been here
I’ve always been here waiting for this moment
I’ve been watching your struggle, my son

I want you to know, that when you cried
With my departure, I cried
When they hurt you, I felt sad
But happy, happy that you’ve been trying to be better
Than yesterday
Happy that you’re taking care of your family
Happy to have you, now here closer to me
Believe me, you’ll have many bad days like this
But I want you to know, my son, I’ll always be here
And when you cry, when you shout, asking for my help
I’ll always be here
Or better yet, I’m inside you
Signed, God
