TW: References a toxic relationship
I have a little brother and a big sister so the terms “little” and “sister” are words I’m definitely familiar with just never put together, describing one singular person. On February 23, 2022, I said those words for the first time to describe a singular person.
Hush, now little sister, I got you. Come here, lean into my shoulder, let it all out, I'll be your rock while it seems your world is falling apart. Your safe now no need to act like you have everything put together and your a-okay even though you just want to curl into a ball and hide from the world, your big sis has you.
Hush now little sister, I know…guys suck…getting your heart shattered into a million tiny fragments sucks.
You know little sis when you asked me, "how do you stop loving someone you've loved for so long?" I wish I could have answer that for you but that's one of the universe's unanswered questions that I'm looking for myself.
Instead of answering your question with an honest answer all I could do was open my arms as wide as I could to try and shield you from reality as you cry into my shoulder.
So hush now little sister, I got you. Let it out, it doesn't seem like it now but you will be a-okay with or without him.
No, you don't die from a broken heart quite the opposite. Like a phoenix, you’ll raise stronger than before, and know not to go down this path that leads to all this misery with another guy.
Yes, this hurts now, but in time raise your head, little sister, wipe those tears away little sister, square your shoulders, little sister and you'll find you'll be alright.
But for now dear little sis, hush now let it all out. Come here… I'll be your rock… I know getting your heart shattered into a tiny million fragments sucks… in time little sis you'll find a guy worth your time and effort.
Never think that just because I'm going to be 7 hours away, in a whole other state, an hour ahead of you that I'll be too busy for you. Say the word little sister, and blood or not I'll be gladly driving to your doorstep to drag you out to go get coffee, just because you needed someone there.
So, just say the word little sister, and your big sis will be there.
