Separation

Last night, my dad and I were supposed to watch a movie together. However, as we sat down and purchased it, we realized that the movie had to download before we could watch it. I told my dad that we would do it another time; I had a project I needed to work on and had to be at work in the morning. He was visible upset, but I couldn't figure out why. Couldn't it wait? 

He came up to my room about an hour later and explained it to me. 
"Taylor, the last few months, I've felt like I haven't seen you at all.  You're leaving for real in a few months and I don't want that last bit of time I have with you to fly by."

He left, not giving me a chance to respond.  Last night, I cried as I fell asleep.
