For my sister

Its the way
she eat's oreos while doing her homework
and that makes her day.

It's the way she walks into the room
commanding attention
any way she can.

It's the way she bursts out
in any song
embarassing dance moves and all.

It's the way she says
I believe you
when no one else does.

It's the way she knows
everytime she's needed
waiting with ice cream and a sad movie.

It's the way we fight
over nothing
almost everyday

It's the way she screams
along with me
when there's a spider.

It's the way we hide
when the lights go out
in every thunderstorm.

It's the way she tells me
every single day
she can't wait to take my room when i'm gone
...
It's the way she cries
as i'm actually leaving
out the door.

It's the way i miss her
when i said
i never would
