Until I Met You
The purest type of love at first sight.
Never believed in love at first sight.
Never thought it was true.
Ever heard of love before sight? That's how it was with you.
I remember when she told me, standing in my closet, and we hugged,
and I already knew.
I went to Girl Scout Camp for a week that summer and wrote a poem
for the camp talent show
about you.
I wondered if you would have grown while I was away.
The morning you arrived we got to miss school, thanks for that, by the way.
We even got Frappuccinos from Starbucks,
because it was your birthday.
Through the labor and delivery unit
in a tiny plastic crib
was a tiny perfect human
who I loved
who hadn't met me yet
"hi," I said
"I'm your sister"
