Secret Love

I have only recently met you, even though I have known you forever for so long we have been strangers, but now we are almost birds of a feather. I've known your smile and I love your laughter, but I know you cry, I've even wiped your tears, some of which I have caused, I fear. I have known jealousy with every golden wisp of hair that has flown through the air it's true they say dont covet but my sister, I have been jealous of you. Your smile so bright has hidden so much pain and each time I promise myself I wont let that happen again, I understand it is hard to trust me, why would you I haven't always been there if only you knew how much I really care. Mom gave me a gift thirty six years ago, the years that I lost, I should never have let you go. I know you have seen darkness, fought it off with every fiber my darling, I admire that so much in you, I love your fire. Please dont ever give in, dont ever, ever go, please my angel dont leave me alone. You are a precious treasure to me, you are incredibly valuable, i am so glad we have been joined together from the start, because, you have my heart. I was told we would get closer when kids came along and I thought that was just a pretty song, the truth is we are, they were right, even when it looked like they were wrong. I love my nephew so very much I didn't think that could be true, but you gave me him and now I have even more love for you. I cannot wait to be there on your wedding day, I have planned every detail, I want your dream wedding to come true, come what may. You dressed in white, Garth by your side, what a handsome man, what a perfect bride. The end of my letter has finally come but I will never, ever stop saying thank you, my little sister for being part of my life all I can leave with you is my love and promise that my love for you will never, never end Monique, I have the best, you are my sister and my friend.
