First one off the couch loses wrestle to what felt like the death the end of the fight but was always the beginning dressing up in her clothes all a game in those innocent years trying to be like you always a fight between us and them trying to tell me to be me who is me? Just a part of you? Or who they tried to craft?
We hid behind the slaps and pinches boy those pinches still stinging on my red red skin got a lot of anger out those years displaced and all in one stay
Playing with our talking dolls and stuffed animals nothing too special but everything to us in the upstairs bedroom a safe place to get away all the episodes we could think about our imagination running wild we could find the good in everything as long as I was with you it was good
Weekends we just wanted to be home our real home tired of being dragged around rebelled so we stayed up past our bedtime whispers mixed with giggles lights go on we have waken them from their perfect dream I am sorry we disappoint
Until one day we just stopped we stopped hitting we stopped imagining we stopped visiting them goodbye bunk beds but never stopped loving I grew bigger but not in the same way never felt separate from her always walking beside
And as the years go on and pieces of life come and go same place different place
Those years never slip my mind, she is always my safe home
I found me when I was trying to be like her
