When I was born
You held me in your arms
When I learned to walk
You videotaped me
When I learned my first word
You were there to repeat it
When I hurt my knee
You were there to tell me it was okay
When I learned to ride a bike
You wanted to ride together
When it was my very first day of school
You kissed me good-bye
When I came back
You sang the alphabet with me
All we did was talk and talk
I felt safe
We were like milk and cookies
But then she came
You started to do
Everything
But….
Without me
Your attention wasn’t on me
Anymore…
It was on her
The one who brought back your smile
Which you haven’t had since
The day I was born
The one you call ‘my love’
And the one I call
‘My sister’
When I started to go through puberty
You weren’t there to tell me that I was becoming a young lady
When I had my first crush
You weren’t there to give me a lecture on boys
When I had my first boyfriend
You weren’t there to meet him
When I got my first broken heart
You weren’t there to tell me it was going to be okay
When I was voted ‘the fastest girl in class’
You didn’t ask to go running together
Now when I go to school
You don’t kiss me goodbye
And when I come back
You don’t help me with my homework
Like you used to
Now all we do is fight and
Fight
I feel lost
Now we’re like the sun and the moon
That never pass each other
You have no idea
Why?
Because our relationship
Is gone
We have diverged
And it is all because of
Her
