Times of Old

Memories flowing like water over my dreaming mind,
Echoes of laughter and cries of joy from years past haunt my ears,
laughing over the least funny things,
fighting over the most simple things,
we were as close as twins could get despite all the bickering,
we bickered and fought all day long,
but we never intended to injure badly.

now we are distant,
we never speak,
we always avoid the other,
whatever happened to us sis?
when did we fall apart so badly?

memories, like smoke, flow over my nostrils,
I remember making pastries with my mother,
begging for just one before bed,
leaping on your bed to wake you up most mornings,
snuggling up to you whenever I was sick or sad.

memories of laughter haunt my ears,
laughing and teasing,
writing and reading,
with all my friends i ruled the world,
school ended and we drifted apart,
i see one or two now,
i lay awake thinking about all the good memories,
wishing I could have it all back.
