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.
