I'll keep it short.

I'll wave as you drive off.

I'll cry once I'm alone.

I'll lie awake at night.

I won't forget you.

But I won't lie to you.

I won't say the same thing,

As everybody else.

I won't pretend it's not hard.

That it doesn't hurt.

That you don't seem to care,

When we say that we won't

Forget you.

I'll cry once you're gone,

When your phone goes

straight to voicemail.

When you make new friends.

And when you leave us behind.

When we become a background.

When we start to fade.

When we,

Disappear.

And even though I know it will happen

I dread the moment you leave.

The moment you say goodbye

For the last time.

And once you leave there will be things

I can't look at and not see your face.

Eurovision

The Latvian flag.

A rainbow.

And I will forever hate the new girl,

Who gets your locker next year.

*Unless of course she's gay but...

Let's be real... (unlikely!)*

But I won't ever let you see

This tear streaked face.

This mess I am.

This me.

That you.

How.

It could never have been.

Your right.

So thanks.

Please forgive me.

Goodbye,

To the sister I never had.
