Why don't you actually tell your dad you wrote this?
Or tell him this in your own words. Tell him you love him, Tell him you want to spend more time with him, and that it bothers you that you can't.
And give him a big hug :)
(PS: I'm a dad of a girl )

I thought of something else since I posted this. It could be that he spends more time with your brother because he feels that he doesn't know HOW to spend time with a teenage girl.He can do "guy stuff" with your brother, but he figures that he's not exactly who you want to hang out at the mall with. And maybe because he doesn't know how to "act cool" with you he assumes that you see him as uncool and don't want to hang with him. Maybe he needs assurance. Or maybe you can suggest specific things, like simply watching a DVD together, so that he knows he doesn't have to worry about his coolness factor!

You need to be honest with your dad! I guarantee you he'll appreciate it! Sit him down and tell him that you love him and that you want to spend more time with him and that you have to be honest that you get jealous that he wants to spend more time with your brother. If you are too afraid to do this then write him a letter and leave it for him.
There is nothing wrong with telling him that you love him and miss him. It's a compliment not an insult. He will feel honored!

Ask your dad if you can have "father-son" alone time once a month to do something special together - like going to the arcade together, crabbing together, fishing together, etc...

try to find something you and your dad have in common and like to do. for example, i'm a daddy's girl. i love to ride dirtbikes and fish, and that's what he likes to do. so now every saturday we'll go and do one of those things.
and also try to get your dad to come to some of your games or concerts if you have any. for example: i started to play accelerated soccer. my dad came and watched some of my games and he liked it so much that he is now my assistant coach. we are always together now!

Tell him that you want to spend more time together and that your not ready to be that independent.
