Do you think the people makers one day said "Let's put one of their thoughts in The other one's head?" One of them will smooth out the rough from the other having to act so tough And we will give them little girls but switch them around One of them blond and the other one brown. Do you think the people makers liked a good fairy tale? Snow White and Rose Red for the modern age With a soundtrack by Elton John of course. With the Brown Dirt Cowboy riding in on his horse. And one still calls the other all the time. You can make a lot of calls two years down the road. Still no answer but one doesn't give up. Both are made of much stronger stuff. Magnets and steel and magnolia blooms. A bit of Lavender Oil to freshen the room. I curse the people makers every single day then apologize and thank them for sending her my way. Two years apart is a lot of pain A lot of tears Endless rain But I can take it, a little tough remains. I wouldn't have missed it for anything you could name.
I wrote this on the two year anniversary of my best friends sudden and unexpected death. Some cliches are true. The cliche about time healing all wounds does not seem to be true in this case. The more time that passes, the more I miss her. She was the kind of person that always said "YES."
