Tossing and turning all night

The night skies were black as coal

Heaven’s doors seemed shut to her

How was she to tell her loving sister

Her tears flowed freely onto the pillow

Broke her heart into smithereens

She was to accompany her sister to the airport

An elder sister, a mentor and a friend

And they grew up together as bosom buddies

They were to receive John at the airport

Only yesterday her sister had confided in her

That she just could not wait to be in John’s arms

John, their neighbor before
her sister’s childhood friend but more on

a hot and cold relationship though

John had confessed his feelings

for her barely six months ago

There should not therefore be anything
going between him and her sister

so she thought until yesterday

Her sister broke the news about John’s

homecoming and it broke her heart

For John had informed her the week before

of his homecoming himself  but never

mentioning about wanting to meet her sister

She could imagine both of them rushing
to hug him the moment he stepped into view

Must she tell her?

Must she give way?

Must she go to the airport at all?
