A GIRL FRIEND IS LIKE A SISTER TO YOU

A girlfriend is one you are attracted to
Without love at first sight
But lust at first appearance.
One you think it will be fun to play with
Without knowing what the game could lead to.
She is just one of those girls you like.
One you say to: I love you today but I hate you tomorrow.
For you are tired of playing games with her,
Instead of understanding her inner self.

With a girlfriend you spend time playing.
Rather than knowing each other by talking.
We all need someone to talk to, not someone to play with.
That comes after knowing what it means to love.
‘My girlfriend’ is a sister to me.
For a sister is a friend who is always in your heart.
No matter what happens she is forever there.
There will be arguments between her and me.
But this brings understanding to our relationship.

You never break-up with a sister
For the love between you is of a spiritual kind.
It’s not physical love that can break-up
Leaving broken hearts here and there.
She may be far away from you
But your spirit brings her to you and you to her.
You might lose contact with her
But memories of her keeps you smiling all day long.
Knowing that you will meet again.

A sister is the girl who cares for you when you are down.
Someone to talk to when you are feeling low.
Someone who loves you for being you,
Not because of who or what you are.
You wish to call her ‘mum’
For her heart reflects a mother’s warmth and care.
Nothing compares to a mother’s love
But a sister who tries to be mother.
