This is two sisters, who just happen to be best friends,
Smiling immensely as they open they’re matching Christmas presents,
Trying to convince the world that they were twins,
Everything they did had to be the same
This is two best friends,
Always the crying shoulder to lean on
When they were scared and confused by their parents actions.
Constantly reminding each other of their love
With promises that they will never let their friendship die.
This is two young girls,
Naïve to the fact that there was much more going on in the house
Than they’re ways of pretending to be sisters by blood,
Rather than some messed up marriage.
Hugs became longer as the best friends realized an end was coming.
This is before the “twins” were separated without a goodbye.
Before all communication was cut off,
An before the girls that had once done everything the same
Went down two completely different roads in life.
This is before the best friends were forced to become strangers.
This breaks my heart...sounds like you two had such a bond and it was broken by factors neither of you had control over. That idea of being "forced to become strangers" is just so sad. Thanks for sharing this, Mackenzie.
