Sister Friend

Regret
Maybe
More like
A deep longing
To have you
Near

A shared childhood
Adulthood
Forcing us onto
Separate paths

Still
Memories are strong
The heart tied deeply
To
A linen closet
Turned rocketship
Castles erected from
Pink blankets

And
A magical doorway
Drawn with crayon
On our bedroom wall

Turn the knob
Step through
I am there
Always
