MY SISTER

We grew up 2 years apart..
Forever you were in my heart..
My sister, my friend...
There for each other until the end.

As time went by we became...
Individuals....Sisters by name.
Both with our own unique strengths
Yet somehow we were missing a link.

Like chalk and cheese, as they say..
You and I drifted away.
At that junction in everyone's lives..
From child to adult...we said our goodbyes..

Distance and anger kept us there
I acted like I didn't care..
But I always have..and always will..
Just had to wait for time to tell.

Wish you were there to share your dreams...
And how I lost my self esteem...
All our trials and tribulations...
Our boyfriends and our lost relations.

When you were lonely and upset...
Or when you bought your very first pet...
Childbirth and holidays...
How we were different in our ways.

My walls were never made of bricks...
With you there were no walls...
How I hoped the phone would ring...
But you never called.

You are my sister, so I tried again to get you back..
For once I finally knocked your walls and there was no attack.
I'll never let you go again...
Even if you try...
We are not kids anymore..
No need to say goodbye.
