I Wish I Got To Meet You

I stare at your grave, wishing I got to meet you Every time your name is said, mom cries missing you The boys don’t even know who you are How is anyone expected to explain the very short life you lived? I wish I got to meet you Every sunrise and sunset reminds me of you, even though I’ve never met you Mom always said you had the brightest red hair and the most brilliant blue eyes and had freckles dashed across your face I wish I got to meet you I could tell you so much I could introduce you to all my friends, you would get along so well with them Some are even family now I wish I got to meet you We could do all the things siblings do You’d know all my secrets and I’d know all of yours You’d protect me and I’d protect you You would be the one I could trust the most I wish I got to meet you Even though you’re not here, you know my biggest secret The day it happened, you were there for me and you’ll always be there for me That’s what siblings are for, right? Hardly anyone knows it happened but you do, not even mom He still haunts my dreams laughing at me, saying no one will ever believe me But you believe me, you were there when it happened You are my rock and my savior, you keep my head on straight I wish I got to meet you I love you my amazing older sister, I wish I got to meet you my darling Angela
