Brother and Sister
“I thought you loved me!”
“I did, I always did! Did you not see that? Was everything I did for you not enough?”
“No! It wasn’t!”
“What more could I have done?”
“You could have decided not to leave me! You could have stayed. Instead of running away from our parents, forgetting that you had a sister who was still stuck. And you stayed away. You didn’t come back for holidays and you didn’t write me letters. You made me feel like I was a part of the corrupted family you wanted to leave behind. And you left! What you did was not love.”
“I’m sorry.”
“So be sorry. But you are not my brother. Because a brother wouldn’t leave their sister alone for years. Knowing it would be hard. Knowing that she had no one. You are not my brother.”
“But you will always have been my sister.”
