Little Sister

Little sister,
you point to the sky
and tell me you're going 
up there
I tell you
no, you can't go
not because 
I think you're not capable
no
I'm scared
scared of the distance
scared of the possibility
of loss
So no
don't listen to me
when I tell you
no, you can't go
because you can
and I will cheer you on
but I will cry
and I will worry
so 
no, don't go
don't leave me 
stay beside me
where I can hold you
and I won't let go

You can pull away
and I won't resist
too much
Goodbye
don't cry

I promise
I won't die

So let me hold you
one more time
and tell me you'll be safe
and 
Go fulfill your dream
