You never know, they say. Always find the richness in every day, they tell you. Who do I look up to in silence now? Never say goodbye, just say see ya later.
I'm a quiet one; I adored you from far away and loved you with a force. I wanted to be strong like you. Now I am not the little sister anymore.
