sisters.

 

i remember growing up, thinking

she would always be smarter than me,

more beautiful,

have more friends,

just over all

cooler

than i ever could be.

i always wanted to be around,

tag along,

join in,

{possibly} read her journal on the sly.

because i wanted to be just like her.

now i realize that she is still those things to me:

intelligent,

beautiful,

friendly,

and over all

cooler than i will ever be.

but she is also

my best friend.

i hope my girls feel the same way about their sister

as i do about mine.
