Some truths best left unspoken.

For being the sister
You always were
For teasing me
When I was unsure
For scolding me
When no-one else would
For listening quietly
As only you could
For the pleasant memories
Of talking with you
For winning the arguments
You always do
For just caring
When I couldn't
I'm going to say this
Though perhaps I shouldn't
You're 21
Tomorrow morning
So I give you now
Dear sister fair warning
I shall not bid you
A happy birthday
It's to unnecessary
A thing to say
