Irreplaceable

Irreplaceable

Is us

You and I

Together

Joking and laughing from things like the weather

To ghost cows and weird books and crazy ideas

To fanfictions and emails and drafts we'll never send.

We laugh so hard we cry

We talk and we think

We analyze and fantasize 

With our cousin telepathy.

You're irreplaceable

A song in my heart

While we may sometimes fight,

And are often apart,

I look forward to calling you,

Seeing you, making memories

Some sweet and some tart.

You are my second half

The one who completes me;

I talk a lot of my friends,

But you're my every reason.

We live separate lives

Have different friends

Social groups, opinions on math that never ends

But most we have in common

Like book series we love

How we write and we chat and we make the rules bend.

We are the cousins, unbreakable and strong

Rebellious and caring,

Passionate and daring.

Thank you so much for making me feel funny

Making me laugh at our ridiculous stories

Cool and hilarious and occasionally boring

I love every moment, every in-between:

Irreplaceable, my cousin, is you and me.

    Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption

    Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

    Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips
