I Will Leap, Cling and Protect
I remember leaping through there air
and clinging to you.
I honestly cant remember why.
I just remember it was to protect you,
to be there for you,
to comfort you .
I was your big sister then
Now I am nothing more to you
than a voice on the phone,
a thousand miles away.
I want to leap through the air again
cling to you
be there for you
comfort you again
This time I don’t even know why.
You shut me out of your life long ago.
Made it perfectly clear no more.
No more leaping
clinging
or protecting you.
I know I have made some mistakes
I know we have had our fights
and yes I know how much you hate me now.
But know this
I will always leap through the air
cling to you,
protect you
be there for you
to comfort you
even if I have to do it from miles away
For I was your big sister then
and I am your big sister now and always.
