To The Many

Once upon a time,

I looked at you and thought,

You're the one.

You're the one that will be at my side throughout school,

Throughout the broken hearts to come,

Throughout my successes and failures,

Throughout even my wedding.

But the twelfth mark made its round,

And I know this isn't the first or last time.

Though it makes me wonder,

Am I the one to blame?

I never would have thought,

I could look at you and think of your many names,

And how I called you sister,

Once upon a time.
