You


You, my dear sister

are the one I 

can't live without

You, my dear sister

are the one that 

makes me want to tear my hair out

yet also gives me joy.

I remember, my dear sister

when you stayed up with me

when I cried because 

of the bullies at school

I remember, my dear sister

when you encouraged me

before I would go onstage

I remember, my dear sister

when you would cry

it would make me cry, too

I remember, my dear sister

when you thought 

you were fat

I encouraged you 

to stay strong

I know, my dear sister

that you love me too

I know, my dear sister

that you feel the same way

I think, my dear sister

that maybe you

couldn't live without me

I know, my dear sister 

that we make up

pieces of each other

I love you, dear sister

and I can't live without you.
