Dear sister I never had,
Do you remember, when we were young, those promises we made?
Do you remember that stupid handshake we once shared?
For as long as I can remember,
We stood together through the laughter and the tears.
You were my loudest fan, cheering from the stands,
One of the first I told about my moms cancer,
The only one who could reel me back in before I fell into one of my depressive like states.
You were my sunshine,
And I was your hurricane,
We complemented each other perfectly.
I was the chaos that kept you on your toes,
Never letting a dull moment into your life,
Especially when I was off doing one of the few things I was good at, causing trouble,
Keeping you busy getting me out of it.
But nothing has been the same since you became cool with the in crowd,
No matter how much time passes,
I continue to asked myself a million times,
Where did we go wrong?
As we continued to grow up,
We slipped apart,
Memories were the dew drops on our petals,
That slipped into the oceans stream.
We were once little dreamers, wishing big things.
Today we are grown up,
Now our story has long since past its ending,
And you may write me down into your history.
