Goodbye...forever

I never heard your voice, yet i know you called my name,
your problems outweighed mine massively but u made them seem so tame,
I never said i loved you, i never told you that i cared,
We never sat together and smiled at the memories we shared

The same two people made our life possible, and tore us both apart,
wherever you are now, alone, you're always welcome in my heart,
You spent not enough years alive, gracing this world of mine,
But God has a bigger picture and i guess it was your time

The big man grew impatient, he wanted you for himself,
for this i cannot fault him, for as far as he had delved,
he plucked the most beautiful creation he could find,
and said with a voice of sorrow, im sorry, this one's mine.

I will not cry for you, i swear, it's better in the end,
I'll rejoice our time together, my loving sister and my friend,
To mourn would just be selfish and would seem justly unfair,
But i do it anyway, because you were my older sister, you are my loving Claire
