Getting ready to go swimming filled with joy and happiness
I loved the water so much I didn't care that my hair was such a mess
Not an easy life, No memory I had of a hug or kiss from anyone
Annoy a girl in my class was what I had just done
Spurting out nonsense in return did she
Telling sad news to a shocked me
Frozen on the spot, staring at her in disbelief
Hoping she was wrong, for it would bring relief
She told me in such a spiteful tone, "Your mom is in hospital, Your sister is dead"
I thought she was just sick and had just gone to bed
I ran away from her, and towards the coach, no longer caring
Whether I swam, my feelings I tried not sharing
A teacher sat with me all the way there,
Remove me from the coach, they did not dare.
A little troublemaker they thought me to be
But really all I wanted was someone to love me
My sister was gone, before I could hold her or teach her what I knew
Or even before the lips utter the words "I love you"
Called into the headteachers office for something other than being in trouble
Was so new and so strange, as I looked up at his face all covered in stubble
He asked if I wanted to tell my other sister, or if it should be her teacher?
When I did not want to speak? How could I tell her?
Picked up from school by our grandmother
We was told to pretend we hadn't been told by another
You should be ten years old this year, you have a younger sister now, only six years
I bet you would have loved to play together with all of the stuffed bears
Forever I will love you little one~*
