"Why does sadness linger, they inquire, about you? 

How you stayed frozen, while I continued to accrue

It's been two decades since you've been gone, 

Each tear shed marks the pain, the dawn

Though we've never met, I feel our bond will be real, 

To lay eyes upon you, I'd make any deal

You left before my time, leaving behind the pain, 

Wondering how different life would be, the refrain

Being the eldest now feels like a weight, 

Shards of broken glass, a heart's cruel fate

Oh, to bask once more in your sisterly light, 

The ache began the moment I heard of your flight

I pray you find solace in the heavens above,

 In paradise, free as a dove

 The void you left, it's unmistakably true, 

In the vastness of loss, I hope you miss me too"
