As I come upon another birthday
I am reminded of you
All those years I spent
Trailing you along
And all those times my brother got mad.
You were his best friend.
And I,
I was 'stealing' you from him.
I loved that look in your eyes
When you came over
And all those little things you did
Trying to impress me.
He hated it,
Though he wouldn't leave us alone.
You were his best friend,
But I was his sister
And he didn't trust either of us.
You're 22 now, almost 23
And I'll be 21.
What I felt then,
I still feel now
But it's different.
I look back on all those years we shared
And I always smile.
So, to you,
My childhood crush,
I say
Goodbye.
