Family


Holding on to someone thinking there are sparks in the air makes you drawn into your imagination.

You’ve always thought this person was the love of your life.

You we’re drawn to the attention you couldn’t have from your family.

You we’re looking for love.

You wanted your family to be there when you’re feeling sick to the moment you can’t cook your own food.

You we’re driving yourself for attention that the person you claim to be your true love.

He was able to pull you away from the missing feelings you wanted your family to give you.

Even if he was the opposite mate you never knew you would fall head over heels.

Everything about him is none of what personality you wanted from a person.

As you linked away from him finding out he fooled behind your back you become drawn to your friends who was there for you from all the troubles you had experienced.

Your friendship grew and became close.

Your friend told you that you are just like family to her.

You became like a sister to her but not blood related.

You had confided to her more than anyone else.

You shared your secrets and stories to each other.

We set aside our problems and move on with our lives.
