Poem: She's the One
Updated: May 22, 2021
She's the first person
I want to share my good news with
The one I want to call
When my heart is so broken
That I can't speak
But knowing she's there
Is the comfort I need
Whether on the phone
Or holding my hand
The pain becomes more bearable
Thanks to her
We can sit and talk
Until the sun comes up
Or be in comfortable silence
With just one look
She knows what's on my mind
Somehow, she even knows
When something's wrong
Before I admit it to myself
She always has my back
And wouldn't say anything
That she wouldn't say to my face
She's the one
Who made me realise
I may not have been given
A sister by blood
But I have a sister by choice
She's the one
