I once met this little girl
She seemed like any other girl to me
And I thought she would be just another friend
I spoke to this girl almost every morning
I did so for a few month
Just talking casual stuff
Just talking to another friend I thought
I got to know this girl better
And she got to know me better
As we continued talking about it all
This girl started trusting me more and more
I met this girl once a few years ago
She was introduced to me by another friend
All I thought was that I found me one more friend
So I started hanging out with this girl more and more
And I started listening to her with more desire to know
No longer was she just another friend to me
And no longer was I just a friend to her
I met this girl a while back
Just a friend she was then
Now a dear friend she had become
I started helping this girl
With both school and life
I even heard I am the reason she made it through school
I believe I am only partially responsible there
I started to care more and more about this girl
And I wanted to protect her all I could
I also believed in her own ability
And her own desire to survive
I met this girl once on a cold morning
Just a friend she was at first
A dear friend she had become later
And now I call her my sister
This little girl I met back then
This person I came to befriend
This person I love dearly
This girl I consider my little sister
This girl I will always love
This girl I will always protect
And this girl
Whom I long to see again soon
Is one of the reasons
I am able to stay on my feet
Through out this difficult life I live
