The next day
"Come Yanli, you can stay in bed forever". I said with a smile as I stood in her room, she was hiding under the covers like a child.
"I don't wanna! I want to stay in bed!". She whined.
"It's not healthy to stay cooped up in bed and not eat all day, please, Yanli?". I said as I kneeled in front of her bed and playful peeked under the covers.
"No!". She said as she shut the covers closed, I giggled.
"Oh Yanli, you're being childish now, don't make me come in there! If you don't eat, I'll end up worrying, and it'll be on your conscience if you fall ill. So let's avoid all that drama and have some food, shall we?". I said, she hmphed in response.
'She's older than me by a year but I feel like I'm the one that's older right now'. I thought in humor, I sighed and sat down with my back against her, I began to hum a song which made her peek as I started to sing it.
Oh, when a difficult day goes by
Keeping it together is hard, but that's why
You've got to try
You've got to try
I looked at her with a smile and picked up the blanket a little to show her teary eyes, knowing what it was about
And when there's a thundering storm outside
Underneath the covers, you huddle and hide
I poked her nose in humor which made her giggle slightly at my sudden action.
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
It's the true, it's the true
It's the true kinda love
I wiped a single tear that fell and placed my hand on her cheek
It's the true, it's the true
It's the true kinda love
Stuck! in the middle of fear and shame
Everybody's looking for someone to blame
Like it's a game
Like it's a game
She looked down in shame but I picked her head up with my finger under her chin.
And now I am better than "win-or-lose"
There's a new direction that I'd like to choose
It's called the truth
It's called the truth
She smiled, removing the blankets and sliding down to lay her head on my shoulder, her hand in mine. With a serene expression, she snuggled close, eyes shut, listening to my humming and singing, finding solace in my voice, and for once, feeling pampered.
Hey, you, show me that solvable problem
We can get through this
I'll do the hardest part with you
I laid my head on top of hers
It's the true, it's the true
It's the true kinda love
It's the true, it's the true
It's the true kinda love
She sang along with me
