Sister

Sister where have you been,
When once we were as close as conjoined twins?
I remember sitting with you eating ice cream cones,
So much alike we looked like clones.
I remember talking to you all night,
How quickly we made up after a fight.
I remember how we would talk about our crush,
How when I was in trouble I would run to you in a rush.
Now I need you once more,
Because my heart has fallen through the floor.
I need once more the strength you gave to me,
I need you to make the person I used to be.
You are the only one who can give me the love I need,
I need my sister once again so that I can find Me!

For my big sister and mentor Amanda!
