What about me?
I ask as you turn away
Don't you hear my plea?
I want you to stay
So why do you leave
When I'm trying to change?
You've always been like my shadow
Following me everywhere I go
And as I get old
You seem to fade
You're just like a memory
But as I turn the next page
I can feel something eating away at me
You hug me tight, not meaning to let go
Months pass and it hasn't snowed
Don't let me go, you say as tears roll down your face
But I'm not in control, I can't change fate
I'm getting older
It's time for us to be apart
I might get colder
But you'll always be in my heart
That's why it hurts when
You say what about us?
I know you think that back then
Your dreams were just dust
But as i get older, now I see
The question is: what about me?

This is absolutely beautiful. The way you conveyed this hits the center of my heart. It's so hard to let her go when she seems so broken. But I've found we need to let her go so she can grow up...so she can have the childhood we never did. Also, I do love pineapple on pizza...maybe some think it's a crime but to me it's good!
You get it!
A emotional read around the decision to go and have their own life and leaving a beloved sibling behind, who they look after there whole life. Feelings expressed very well in this write.
