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.

    weaving around each other's sound

    instinctively fitting into the tone

    the contrast

    played so perfectly

    The agony of the human race

    simple creatures

    snickering at my poetry 

    banging their fists against their heads

    stalling work

    reading mushy parts of books they pretend not to enjoy

    saying stupid things
