peppermint. 

when i think of, see, or smell peppermint, all that floods my mind is you. 

i'm not sure why. maybe it's because of all the times we ate bags upon bags of peppermint hershey's kisses on your bedroom floor while complaining about life. maybe it's because of all those peppermints i would take from your candy jar. maybe it's because of the peppermint perfume you used to wear. 

i miss eating those chocolate kisses. i miss taking peppermints from your jar. i miss smelling your perfume. i miss having late-night conversations about strange dreams we had. i miss when you made me that delicious tea from ukraine. i miss the countless times we collapsed onto your kitchen floor in a fit of giggles. 

i miss you. 

i miss you a lot. 

you've been right by my side for over seventeen years. whenever i needed someone to talk to, you were there and you would always listen. whenever i needed a shoulder to cry on, you gave me yours without hesitating. 

you're my best friend. you're my sister. you always have been and always will be. even if my mother tries to get in the way. 

i'm sorry. i'm sorry about that. she tried to take everything away from us. i know you blame yourself, but it isn't your fault. i'm not mad at you, so you shouldn't be mad at yourself. it hurts me to see you beat yourself up. 

but no matter what my mom does, you will always be my best friend, my other half. i couldn't live without you. 

we can climb our way out of this pit ♡
