...And my childhood is over

24 years...yes that's for how long I know you..
No..this is not your age..(luckily)...I'm younger than you.
You...you are my cousin they say
Please be by my side always I pray..
You were there when I learnt walking
You tolerated all when I couldn't stop talking.
Kept your problems aside when I needed you
Were the only one I didn't *have to* reach out to.
Didn't say things loud but proved them by doing
Gentle, loving and Caring that's a part of your being.
Books..sleep..and music.. these things are essential for you
I m sure
You will get all these things n more..
in your new family too.
I hope they will love you as much as we do
And would accept us also...as a part of you.
I hope they let you enjoy.. your "after sleep sessions"
I hope they accept that your simplicity is your prized possession
I hope that they compliment you for everything you cook
Coz I know kitchen can never replace your love for a book
I hope that you grow as a wife, a daughter in law and a bhabhi
But secretly I also wish..you continue to be my "not so perfect yet precious" di..
It's your special day and I wish..you stay this gorgeous forever
And...With you getting married today.. my childhood is officially over.
