More Than Just a Neighbor

A neighbor since birth,
who knew could be such a great friend,
More than a friend, a sister indeed
She's seen me grow, laugh, and cry and i have learned to follow her lead.

Amazing, beautiful, caring, just to name a few
these are just some of her qualities people call out right on cue.
I remember the days of handball, 4 square, and hide and go seek,
when ringing your doorbell made me look like a freak.

Music, music, music
you have the best taste, and i have caught your contagious flu
Coldplay, Jason Mraz, i am here to "fix you".

The biggest heart of anyone I know,
Your passion to cure is far more than low.
Although we have grown and you are many miles away
I hope you know that I am your neighbor, sister, and friend to stay.
