I have a little sister
Her name is lotus
We are ten years apart
And when she smiles, the heavens seem to light up
I love her
and she loves me
She is only three
and I have made it my mission to protect her....
protect her from bullies
protect her from pain and suffering
And the fact that one day, no one will be there for her
I fear the day she learns that
so will make her strong
even if it means she will hate me forever
even if it feels like my distance from her is because I don't love her
That's not it at all
I stay away from her because I don't want to hurt her
and I don't want her to be a screw-up like me
so that's why I never want these years to end
That's why the heavens light up
When my sister smiles
