We Don't Talk Anymore

"We Don't Talk Anymore, we don't talk anymore...we don't talk anymore like we used to do ~"

The song played inside my head as all the memories of us together came rushing back. The memories felt as if they just happened yesterday. We were so happy together. I used to spend all my time with you, telling you everything about myself. My dreams, my fears, my interests and even my worst nightmares. Remember the times you used to listen to me singing? You used to tell me that my voice was like that of an Angel's, and that I should become a singer when I grow up. I craved for your compliments and my heart used to fill with joy when you liked them. Remember the evenings when I used to hug you tight and watch tv while Mom and Dad were away at work? The games we used to play? Remember the stories you used to tell me that made me fall asleep with a smile? You voice was like velvet, soft, smooth and calming. I miss all these sweet and tender memories... but I miss you the most... Why did you leave me? Why? So many things happened after you left. In fact, too many did. Both happy and sad. I have also changed, you know? I'm not the same cheerful, happy-go-lucky little sister that you knew... I'm sorry to say this. I promised you that I will never change, that I will remain the same forever. I remember that day. I'm sorry. I couldn't keep the promise. After you left, there was no one to protect me from the harsh and unforgiving reality. I had to face the cruel thing called Life. I wish I could walk the path of Life with you. I feel so lost, so hopeless... I still have so many things to tell you. Afterall, you were the only one who knew me inside-out. You were all I had. That's why I still visit your grave. I always spend an hour with you no matter how difficult it is for me. Cause... you are all I ever had, have and will have... Do you hear me? My problems? My pains? I miss your comforting warm hugs when I used to fall, get hurt and cry. I miss your protective arms that gave me strength to go on, to push myself further.
But that's not why I'm here today. I'm not here today to share my problems. Because today is a special day. Today it's your birthday. Happy Birthday, my dear brother. I love you. You're my everything, remember that. And you will always be. I still need you, even though you're not here...I miss you...
