One Thing I Can't Live Without


My sisters,

We have ups

And downs

But we have each other

At the end of the day.

Three of them are tough

The rest of us are weak.

One went away one day,

We cried

Not wanting to let go

We were always together

Helping one another. 

Seems like she didn't want to stay

We watched her walk away from us

We couldn't stop her

This is what she wanted

So we had to respect her decision.

It is weird without her here

But I pretended 

That she went for a sleepover 

And return one day.

I think back to her special day, 

Being with her husband and new family

Hoping that she wont forget us. 

If only I stopped her 

That day, she wouldn't have left

But even if I stopped her

She will leave someday.
