the road to hana...

you tell me your secrets

i trust you with mine

the sound of your laughter

chases away clouds

and allows the sun to shine

you're the best friend that i never knew

but always, forever had

it wasn't until the turn of a page

the sound of the ocean

that we finally had our sleepovers

laughing ourselves silly

me talking, you holding the wheel

who was your favorite brady girl

i learned you liked green olives on pizza

and the scary stuff too

the c-word (you), the a-word (me)

both of us learning to trust in life again

promising secrets to be kept forever

my shoulder yours

yours mine

in knowing you

i discovered

the

sister of my heart

without words we speak

with our hearts

a conversation

that can only be understood

by

soul mates

you and i

happy, happy birthday

my dear nans
