it's like giving one's heart to another but in a family relationship
father - daughter
ya know, like how you see it in tv and all that
trusting one's heart over is to another is so precious
especially a father/daughter relationship
like isn't that the dream of every little girl? to first given their hearts over to their daddy's and then to a future husband. like isn't it every little girl's dream to have their daddy walk them down the aisle one day?
me? my heart has been trampled upon. and like somewhere i knew that. like deep down i knew things between dad and i weren't right. the conversations and context just didn't feel right. it like wasn't pure. not even sure i know what that word means but...
so now...another man has come who is like a father...and now i feel like i'm trying so hard, wishing upon a star that he would take that role. but i feel i've overstepped the boundaries. i feel i've screwed it up. like i do with everything my hands touch.
and who the hell am i kidding? like seriously! why would another even care to step into those shoes of a surrogate father role? let alone for me. i'm not worth it.
just wanna feel special in another's eyes - and no! i don't mean romantically. but again just that special father/daughter relationship. i just long for it.
it's been a harsh wake up call the last 24 hours. like seeing dad and our relationship wasn't normal. baffling. i just figured that's the way it is with everyone. and to think i longed to go back home yesterday in order to celebrate dad. a man that has hurt me in more ways than one could ever imagine. but aren't ya to honor your father?
so confused.
all i know is that i like being treated like a lady, like a human. like i've never had that. people listening to me like i have something important to say. the opportunity to ask questions - amazing! loving it. feel more like an adult than i've ever had. but yet on the other hand i'm so far from ready to be an adult.
16 sucks!
just wish this man who has now come into my life coulda been my real dad. and its crazy as he's only been in my life a short while but its an integrity i've longed to see in my own father and wished for and wished for and wished for but never got.
but in many ways this man is the one i dreamed up and pretended my dad was. i heightened him. made him up to be this great dad and guy. believed he was my hero - like every girl thinks from their daddy. but mine, i'm now seeing, in reality, wasn't this.
it was all a dream. a fairytale.
sigh, so just perhaps so is this other guy now in my life. and besides he has his own family so why would he want anything to do with me?
i guess i'll just appreciate and be thankful that for now he is someone i can go to and talk to like a girl would seek her daddy for advice and just let it ride as long as the road leads and when it ends...i'm just thankful for the taste of what i truly believe is the real thing of what a father should be like.
so even though its been only a little while, to this guy, you've been more of a father to me in these few short days than my own father ever was my entire life. happy fathers day - i trust my heart to you more than i ever should have, did with my own daddy.
