Image: Privileged with a Twin (here)
flapping merrily full of promisecolourful as a rainbow in intensity
bid me a time, for I wish
to whet my appetite on all the variety
serve me the garnish that I may devour
for the myriads of possibilities.
the goodness of being together
in all sincerity with you as company
for the myriads of possibilities.
the goodness of being together
in all sincerity with you as company
blessed with a twin never been a bore
you and your wonderful ways
we just hit it off more than just a sister
from where we left off on any day
ever so thoughtful of my feelings
and idiosyncrasies all bewildered
we just hit it off more than just a sister
from where we left off on any day
ever so thoughtful of my feelings
and idiosyncrasies all bewildered
rash and brash but ever so loving.
young hearts we longingly offered
young hearts we longingly offered
never impinging on the absurd
must this happen, just wondering why
leaving questions unanswered
on the day you said goodbye!

Oh there is such sadness and wistfulness here. These two are twins, but best friends when one moves away also go through that anguish.
