You Didn't

Story
Remember when we were five?

I visited you and your sister.

I suggested a game of Fairy Hide and Seek.

It was your favorite game.

I said you couldn't play.

I thought you would get mad at me.

But you didn't.

Remember when we were eight?

I took your sister away from you.

And I let you know the real reason.

It was because of your birth mother.

I figured you would spell me.

But you didn't.

And remember when we were eleven?

I started a viscious rumor about you.

Not one word of it was true.

Yet I still said it anyway.

I was sure this time you would retaliate with a rumor about me.

But you didn't.

Remember when we were fourteen?

I was being bullied and jeered at.

Because of my arm.

You were the only one nearby.

I knew you would walk away.

Or join in the teasing.

But you didn't.

You stood up for me.

You always have.

You've never returned evil for my evil.

Though I always thought you would.

I certainly would have.

If someone had done it to me.

But you've always been different.

I was going to tell you all of this.

But I didn't.
