My third sister is about to get married, and as with all new stages of life, things will change a little bit. :) But Candi will always be my best friend - even if we won't see each other quite as much as before! We talked about that this morning and agreed that we need to spend plenty of time together before the wedding, and plenty of time on the phone after. :)
Late nights, long talks,
Endless vows to take walks -
No follow through,
But I was with you;
I miss my best friend.
Long days, late drives,
Rare were good-byes
I left and returned
I finally learned
I missed my best friend
Time gone, so fast,
What was then has passed
We've grown up now
You're saying vows
I miss my best friend
Though wrong; I'm sad,
The days we had
Were always good
So misunderstood
I miss my best friend
The chapter ends,
The book is done;
The prince arrived,
The princess won;
This reader is still looking on,
Watching till the pair is gone.
A sigh, a pang, a breath of air,
The people slowly leave her there.
It's lovely, also bittersweet;
Alone, just fine, but she must think
Now that they are at the end
She misses her best friend.
this touched my heart... and I don't even have a sister to relate this to! as a mother of two girls, though, this is so "lovely, also bittersweet"... that they will know and love each other so deeply as the chapters are being written and feel the missing when the time comes.
