We ignored each other for a long time and hardly accepted each other
_____
In that time that was hard for both of us
_____
You were so violent and I so full of hate
_____
For years we couldn't get along at all
_____
I never wanted to be like you or think like you
_____
Today I keep noticing how much I'm like you
_____
Luckily it wasn't too late back then
_____
We forgave each other, the wind died down
_____
That's all so long ago
_____
Yet it's not hard for me
_____
To remember how it was the last time
When we still saw each other
_____
They say, and now I know it's true
_____
That you can have many friends but only one father
_____
And today, now that you're far away
_____
I can slowly see you so much better
_____
I've never missed you the way I do now
_____
Step by step I'm coming back to you
_____
That's all so long gone
_____
But the pictures from that time
_____
A whole year is half an eternity
_____
And it's ages ago
_____
That's all so long ago
_____
That I'll never ever lose you
Yet although you stay with me
