A little drabble written to the song Sister by Sister to Sister.
Dedicated to my younger sister Emily.

--------------------
Many a times I wondered
What does it mean to be the older sister
To fight with my younger sister
Or to sit around playing barbie with her
[[She won't get off the phone]]
It wasn't until she started Primary school
That I realised what I was here for
To protect and to watch over her
And protect her I did
[[She won't leave me alone]]
You were only in Primary 6
When you began talking about boys
I remember the times when we stayed up
Talking into the wee hours of the night
[[When i'm talking to that guy]]
I hated the fact
That you were always going on and on about boys
Seeing I had no guy to talk about
But I was glad nonetheless
[[She can be a real nightmare]]
That my little sister was growing up
Becoming prettier and prettier day by day
And the fact that you told me about it
Made me feel lucky to be your older sister
[[Gets me to do her hair]]
I left for Australia soon after secondary school
You had just started and I was just leaving
I knew I would miss you a lot
And often wondered if you felt the same
[[Then says it never turns out right]]
I came back to Singapore to find out about things
Things that you never told me
Things that I didn't know about
Imagine the hurt I felt that I wasn't there to know
But when i put on a face]]
I tried my best to be there
But I knew it was for naught
Hearts were broken
Tears were shed
[[She can tell]]
I felt guilty that I wasn't there
To share your pain and loneliness
Hurt that you didn't see me as someone
Whom you could talk to it about
[['cause she knows me so well]]
It feels as if we are drawing apart
But whenever I'm home I feel otherwise
It's almost as if I was never away
That we never spent a moment apart
[[Closer than my closer friend]]
The countless neoprints we take together
Sit in a little pocket in my wallet
Never to be taken out
Except when I want to remember
[[Someone will be there]]
The fun times we had in that little booth
The stupid actions that we made
The retarded things we wrote
And the smiles on our faces
[['til the end]]
Even when I'm back in Australia
You never cease to make me smile
The testimonials you send me
Are too cute I have to laugh
[[My sister, sister]]
And everytime I think of you
The wonderful memories of us
Spending time together
Often come up
[[My sister, sister]]
How we used to take stupid pictures together
Or when we took pictures of each other
Regardless of what the other was doing
Thus making it too horrible to be seen
[[Deeper than the deepest sea]]
I enjoyed the basketball matches
But hated the fact
That you could play so much better than me
How your shots always went in
[[No one loves you like your family]]
Not to mention having to watch your back
As you rollerbladed away leaving me in the dust
Correct me if I'm wrong but
Shouldn't it be the other way around
[[My sister, sister]]
Not that I'm complaining
Who doesn't want a sister who's talented
You're good at sports
I'm better at some other thing
[[She reads my diary]]
We might have our differences
But we still get along
Me with my anime
You with some other thing
[[She borrows clothes from me]]
We share our clothes (sometimes)
We fight over clothes
We b*tch about each other
We compliment each other
[[And i never get them back again]]
Half the time we seem to be arguing
So much so that even Mum doesn't know
But even so we know that
I would never raise my hand on you
[[And she locks the bathroom door]]
I might have done that once
But I regretted it for weeks
I promised myself that whatever the reason
I would never do it again
[[Says "five minutes more"]]
I pleaded for forgiveness
That which was given soon after a cry
I had never felt so guilty before
In my whole entire life
[[And an hour later i'm still not in]]
It still rests in my heart
That I might do it again one day
But I can only pray that
That day will never come
[[And sometimes we fight]]
I can't wait for my next holidays
Knowing I'll be seeing you again
And to dig out whatever secrets
You hid from me yet again
[[Every family does (oh yeah)]]
We'll be sleeping late yet again
Because we'll be gossipping
About any cute guys we know
Or any crushes we had
[[But that can't change our love]]
Not to mention the strain on the camera battery
Seeing we'll be using it day and night
Taking rubbish photos yet again
Just to put it online
[[Closer than my closest friend....]]
I also wonder what my handphone bill is like
Because I know you've been using it
Just wait till I get back babe
You'll be begging to use my phone
[[To celebrate the good times]]
Because I'll be keeping you on a tight leash
Making sure you don't send rubbish
And pray your friends don't message crap
For I will be real pissed
[[To help me through the hard times]]
It seems as if I can only complain
When I talk to you about you
But why is it when I'm with friends
I only speak fondly of you
[[To bring me down to earth]]
I may be older by 4 years
Seem to be really far away
But know this sister dear
I'll always be here
[[Remind me what's important]]
I don't care what you do
Because I'll always forgive you anyway
I'm only here to help
To lend a listening ear
[[And who comes first]]
So if there's anything you want to say
Just call me, email me or whatever
Let me know what's going on with you
Don't keep me in the dark
[[Gotta tell you who i'm talking about]]
As your older sister
I want to be here for you
No matter what happens
Between you and me
[[My sister, sister, oh yeah]]
I am the older sister
And you are the younger
Whether you like it or not
You will always be my younger sister
[[Ain't no doubt about it, who i'm talking about]]
Whether or not I'm really there
I'll always be over your shoulder
Watching over you
Making sure you're ok
[[She watches out for me]]
Why
Because you're my one and only sister
You're the one
Who'll always be there for me too
[[I'll know she always be by my side]]
