eighteen years,
my heart has been yours.
every time I ran away
or wanted to be free,
you let me go.
but I came back...
you had my heart.
I guess you always will
have part of me.
I can't deny that.
one way or another I'll always come back.
you have me for four more years
and then...
you gotta let me go
for good.
and not expect my return
so soon.
can you do it?

-you feel like home

cover me like honey
sweet and thick-
warm.
make me feel heavy
and tired.
my eyes droop
with the heavy
substance.
I can't help but close them.
it seeps into my skin,
makes me soft
and I am stained
with the rich color.
golden.

-it enchants me

the best gift I have ever gotten
was given to me as soon as I was born.
you held me in your arms
and whispered "mine".
I would learn later on
that I was minutes old when I was given
one of the greatest loves
I will ever receive.

-I have the honor of calling you my sister
