MY LOST SISTER BY JULIE FRIEDMAN
Looking back it felt like a lifetime we were friends Once strangers , now sisters bonded by time With each day that passes without us side by side , It feels like all the memories were a lie We made plans for our future together Now my heart heals itself , longing after your company forever
A CASTLE MADE OF SAND , WE BUILT AND SCULPTED I used to read , you MELTED like a book AWAY SO EASILY BY
But THE now PUSH reading AND you is PULL fruitless OF THE DEEP BLUE But now we are older and different Just as time brought us together , It pulls us back apart When we pass in the hallway Eye contact is avoided , your eyes glued to the floor You ignore my presence , as if bitter words were spoken Broken hearts and teary eyes , So dry they ’ ll crack from the many sleepless nights of you running through my mind
Every day I would think about all the mountains we climbed over together My pools of tears never pushed you away Your warm embrace made all of my struggles disappear My dear sister , our paths shall cross again And when the day comes , I will be waiting
A CASTLE MADE OF SAND , WE BUILT AND SCULPTED , MELTED AWAY SO EASILY BY THE PUSH AND PULL OF THE DEEP BLUE
Since we last spoke my world has gone from flat to round I ’ d like to fill you in on it all someday , It makes me so excited But until then , I will watch from afar As you grow and chase your dreams that will take you so far
