A Brother-Sister Thing

"I hate you!"
"I hate you too!"
We knew it wasn't true
It was just our way of showing we care

During hospital days
I sat beside you in silence
I was really telling you I love you
It was just my way of showing I care

In nights of pain
You crying in the dark
I slept on the sofa in your room
It was just my way of showing I care

The giggles, the fun and games
The Barbie's I used to love
Always letting me join in
It was just your way of showing your care

In fights, in death
Darkness and despair
You always said to grow up, get a grip
It was just your way of showing your care

And now, face to face
We are both slipping away
Fading together, smiling together
It was just our way of showing we care
