I was going through our closet today. Folders filled with pages of us are everywhere. This, is how I know we existed. I cried ya know, dropping you off at college was the first time in 6 years I had to admit you were gone. PLEASE COME BACK! I remember the barbie doll house, the polly pockets and bratz. That's where you are. I shoved you in a box filled with our toys that we stilled played with when we were children. You're stuffed away in our attic, I'm scared to open the door, scared your ghost will come out and haunt me, PLEASE COME BACK! I was nervous, that's the only reason I hurt you. Do you remember when I was little, leaving bite marks and bruises, you were my safety when I was scared. PLEASE COME BACK! You use to be too scared to leave me, you wanted me at your side, all day all night. Now the thought of being in the same room as me, makes you sick. Where did we go wrong? When will you get over me embarrassing you 6 years ago? When will I be able to say "I love you" having you say it back, without me bursting into tear? PLEASE COME BACK! If I could take away your pain making everything a dream, please know I would. Bonded by blood, separated by differences. Lexi I love you, sisters forever. PLEASE COME BACK TO ME.
