Sixteen Hours and Twelve Minutes

One thousand fifty-five were the miles between you and I.It’s been five months and a week since we’ve seen face to face.I’m shamefully slowly losing thought of your existence.Each day my smile grows weaker knowing you're becoming old memories I have to replay in my night thoughts to reassure your importance to me.As you age learning the dull places of this world and of the iridescent ones alone it became harder to see such a devoted smile.Knowing your falling into my old foot steps has me terrified to death, that isn’t the life I want you to experience with such sadness, regret, and hatred.You have to realize that people will see you in many unimaginable ways that you couldn’t even process, the choice you have is how these unwanted opinions affect the perspective of yourself.Beauty grows each day from within you and don’t you ever think anything less of yourself.This distance between the two of us doesn’t change the fact were sisters.We’ll find our way back to eachother soon enough, patience is all we have to refer to.Until our face to face meet again I’m always replaying these old memories.
