As I float in this endless void, alone

I have no comfort, no reality but the dreams

The dreams of my past filled with images of you

And the memory of your love come back to me

And for a few moments, I find happiness

I remember when we were younger, how we would fight

And stop, blood and tears mixing

We spoke harsh words, and genuinely despised each other

Crawling into our beds, we wished we hadn’t spoken with such heartfelt anger

I’m sorry for hurting you; I’ll never do it again

The next day was spent in uncomfortable silence

Until you couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke out, hurt

I remember how quickly I apologized, and I held you

Vowing never to fight again, only to do it the next day

I’m sorry for hurting you; now I’ll never hurt you again

I then recall those days when we were at peace

How we would talk incessantly, happily

And laugh at the silliest things

We were close, as if nothing could tear us apart

I miss those days, those days of love

Not the love a man and woman could share, stronger

Stronger than the love of friends, more special

Stronger still than the bond of father and son, closer

It was the love of sisters, bound by friendship and blood

I’m sorry for leaving you, but I cannot return

And as those memories cease, and the happiness ebbs away

I cry a tear for you, my sister
