Did you ever love me?

Would you be angry if I hated you? Do you think you have a right?

When will you ever visit?

When will you ever call me?

Where are you?

What is your job?

What are you doing right now?

When did you realize I exist?

Have you ever loved me?

What was it like growing up with you as a dad?

Were there any nights you were kept from sleep just thinking about me?

Who am I to you?

Did you ever think of me on my birthday?

Did you ever think of picking up the phone and calling me?

Where were you when my heart was being broken?

Was I ever on your mind?

Is there enough love in your heart for me?

Was I just a mistake to you?

Do you know my name?

When did I last cross your mind?

Do you think I look like you?

Where were you when my Pop died and all I needed was my dad? Because the only dad I knew was gone.

Am I ever in your Prayers?

Did you ever love me?

When will you ever try?

Will you ever love me?

Did you ever cry for me? Like I cried for you.

Did you ever want to be my dad?

Will you ever tell people about me?

Do you ever regret not telling people about me?

When will you acknowlage my existence?

Does it hurt you to ignore me?

Where were you?

Did you choose to live as far away from me as possible?

Do you watch sports?

What’s your favourite team?

Do you like dad jokes?

Are you as sarcastic as I am?

Did you know I was born with blue eyes?

Do you know I’m deaf?

Could I sit next to you?

Can you paint?

Can you sing?

What does your singing voice sound like?

Where were you when I needed you?

Where will you be in 10 years?

Will you be there when it’s too late?
