Missing

I wrote this some years ago when my dad died.... I was 18. Let me know what you think... ta
When you lose something that's dear to you
Till it's found you search high and low
But I didn't know where to start looking
I didn't know which places to go

I searched up in the sky at night
And I saw a shooting star
I wondered was it you waving
I wonder is that where you are

I opened my eyes in my room at night
When not a thing I can see
I hoped that if I wished hard enough
That's the place you would be

I searched in the music you used to love
Of you I caught a glimpse
So I kept listening and looking
But I haven't seen you since

I searched in every tear I shed
But I didn't find you there
I cried you a whole ocean
But you didn't seem to care

Running out of places to look
I even went to church
But disappointed once again
So I carried on my search

Then one day staring in the looking glass
I thought I saw your face
Then it dawned on me I part of you
So in me you left your trace
