Love

Dropped little sis off to go to the football. Its cold here tonight and she was wearing her boots, coat and pashmina. She jumped out of the car amid a volley of verbals that she promise to catch a cab home, or get a lift from her friends, or call and wake me up to come get her. I drove round the corner and stopped at the lights; warm inside with the heater on and Neko Case blaring through the speakers, and I watched her walk away, thinking: 'You are irreplaceable to me. If you were to be taken from me, I would live on for you. But your absence would forever be a thousand knives in my heart... because I love you so'. Sisters.
