My Sister

[mylovereturneth]

I love my sister. We do fight. A lot. Maybe even more than we get along. But I think that the most strong and stirring bond I can harvest up in my heart is the bond I have with my sister. Nothing is stronger than us when we work together. No one means more to me than her. Not yet anyway. And there's no one I look up to more when it all comes down to it. My sister is part of me. The things I want are in her and the things she wants are in me. We need each other. I really do take her advice to heart, even though she thinks I ignore her. I am annoying, and she is mean a lot, but that doesn't really matter. My sister is beautiful, and I wish I were like her. I really love my sister.

"i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)"
