Dear Rose,

It was your birthday today,
April 20
You would have been sixteen
Mum and Dad took me to your grave today,
I've not been there since the funeral
I cried then and I cried now
I can't bear seeing your name in the stone
It should be in a bubbly font or something
It looks too formal
Too grown up
It's nothing like you
It was written a bit like this

Why did they have to say when you died?
I already know,
I don't need another reminder

Speaking about reminders I remember how much you hated the name Annalise,I always teased you by calling you Annalise and you called me Mione beacause that annoyed me...

I'll tell you something now
I loved the nickname you gave me my name can be such a mouthful sometimes you know
Also Annalise is a beautiful name and I know you loved the name
I know

Anyways mum and dad brought you flowers,
Pink and White roses,
your favorite cause you were named Rose...

We also got you a cake
Well it was more or less a cupcake
The one with the white icing that you like
You always licked off the icing first
Always
I miss you Rose
I really do
I miss your smile and your laugh
How you always made the room brighter
I miss how we used to talk late into the night and then go to bed when mum and dad told us to for the millionth time
I miss you
Please please come back
Please

Your Sister,Now and Always
Mione
