Sister...

Every day I try & try.
As u put your hand up & say good-bye.
All I want is to be close like sisters should.
Have what my friends & cousins have.
Someone to talk to,
To confide in.
Someone who's there thru thick & thin.
Your sister is suppose to be your best friend.
But you are still a stranger to me.

As I grow up.
More & more people tell me I'm just like you.
Makes me wonder how much of it is true?
When I look in the mirror & see you.
Only pride & joy are in my eyes.
Cuz for a second I looked just like you.

Growing up all I wanted was my big sis there.
But yet when I called you were never near.
Said you'd always be here for me.
But when I looked around you were no where to be found.
I'll never understand why you were there for others but never me.
All I've ever wanted was my sister there.
To share in my life & to just care.
It seems as tho I want to much.
All I ever asked was for you to love me just once.

So as time slowly passes.
So does the years.
I've grown up without my sister near.
It hurts more then you'll ever know.
I've tried to become closer as I've gotten older.
Yet there's still a wall I'll never be strong enough to break thru.
You can say all your feelings to me.
But your actions speak louder then all the lies I see.

Even tho I'll say I don't care & it doesn't bother me your not near.
In my heart & soul I'll always hope for the sister I've never really known.
Hope is all I have; so I'll hold dear.
That some day you'll see all I ever wanted was my sister near.
