Every time I speak with you
I realize there is so much more
than anyone can ever see.
I wonder, do I see different things in you
because we both are close?
Then I think perhaps it is because
I meet new people with an open heart.
I wish everyone could see you the way I do,
for all your strength, insight, intelligence and wisdom.
When you come to my mind I always think,
"because we are,"
which are beautiful words
that only touch on the surface of your beauty.
You are so wise and it pains me when I see the struggles life throws at you.
It pains me when others treat you badly
and I realize I share the same pain when other treat me badly too.
You are beautiful- not only physically, but your heart and mind are beautiful and because you're you and I love you the way you are. no mistake or little thing can stop me from believing in you more than anyone else and respecting you the way you are.
*caresses cheek Nothing can amount to how my love is for you as my sister. * caresses your back. Not the specks of sand on the beach that is gleaming with your scent left in its midst, *plays with hand not the warmth of fire which brightens the dark sky with moon that glows bright, *lays my head on your shoulder *plays with hair* not the sweet smell of roses that blooms in the spring, not even the sparkle of the sun. *hugs you* Nothing will be able to stop my loyalty for you because my love is constant and will always be true. *runs fingers through your hair slowly.* I will love you always and shall I say my affections for you is unexplainable and beyond your comprehension, because loyal love is that powerful. *graps hand* My heart has been filled with everlasting love, *plays with hair* love that is pure- loving you as you, and that I love you and thats directly coming from the bottom of my heart.
So I fight, as I know you do as well my dear, singleness - I do not fear defeat. *holds you For it cannot win *plays with hair
What gift can I give you as my family member for tomorrow? *holds you
*grasps hands. You,with a heart as big as all creation? What can I possibly give you? *plays with hair* I would offer you the stars of admiration, respect, a fictional escape from stress, touch, my attention, and my heart. No diamond could shine as brightly as the smile you put upon my face.
*plays with your hair and holds you close
Hugs,
Me
