Cheeseburgers on Saturday I never really knew you all that well but there was something about you something so hard to tell I loved you though I didnt know why You were never around when I was growing up as a child Other things kept you busy and occupied I remeber a saturday when I saw you for the first time You came over and said you were taking me out tonight to dinner so we could talk and get to know each other I was a bit frighten and nervous because I dont even know you mother We went to this little restraunt and I ordered a cheeseburger you did the same and I sat there in silence just staring at you, we had the same blue eyes and the same smile Same dark hair and tan skin You asked how I been I guess you were trying to get to know me all over again not that you ever did know me in the first place I said my life had been good, dad was great Im going to be fine there was no need for you to worry You took my hand and said that you were sorry I shook it off and said it was cool Im past all that I guess you heard the coldness of my voice because you looked away tears rolled down your cheeks and your voice began to quiver when you started to speak you said that it was impossible for you to stay and for me to please try to understand You werent able to take care of yourself so there was no way you could take care of me I felt frustrated you left me when I was ten and now after so long you want to be in my life again you never wrote and you barely called sometimes late at night I would wonder if you even cared about me at all You said you remarried and now I have a sister You would really like it if I meet her thats great but what do you want me to say You were there for her but what about me Guess I wast that important when you left and went away I dont try to pretend that I'm happy to see you There could never be a daughter and mother bond between me and you I have always been here it was you who never came around Im still hurting deep down But I'll never let you see How much pain you caused me So I'll smile my best smile like its going out of style and I'll get through this day you werent in my life very much but we will always have cheeseburgers on saturday.
