Five to seventeen

It's been twelve years
Twelve years without a father
Twelve years thinking of him everyday
Twelve years trying to get over his death

It's been twelve years
Twelve years which has gone by
Twelve years with no memories
Twelve years with the feeling of something missing inside

It's been twelve years
Twelve years with only a mother
Twelve years in the apartment he died in
Twelve years and still not a cure for cancer

It's been twelve years
Twelve years filled with sorrow
Twelve years filled with grieve
Twelve years and still many left
