Out of Your Life

To yet another cousin...

Did you know

That you light up my life

Despite your name

That reflects the dark

 

You help me when I'm down

You turn my life around

 

Sometimes I wonder

Why you bother

 

To look my way

When the others don't

 

It's a reason why I admire you so

It's a reason why I love you so

 

It's a reason why I tell you my secrets

It's a reason why I tell you about my life

 

But however much I tell you

You never tell me anything back

 

I barely know anything about you

Rather it's what I gather is what I know

 

Have I been gone that long?

That I don't even know all of you?

 

Sure, faces and names

I know the voices

But I what I don't know

Is what I want to know

 

I want to get to know your past

I want to get to know what you like

What you dislike

Your goals and achievements

What you inted to do with life

 

But I guess that will never happen

Because I'm out of your life
