If this city was a kingdom, I'd want you to rule with me
So worried for your safety after all our tomfoolery
And I know I'm prolly freakin' out foolishly
I just don't want the next thing that I write to be a eulogy
In your honor
And I know you'd hate it too
All the petty little things that I'd associate with you like
Stairwells, night vale, and beautiful smiles like
Tyco, instruments, and 300 miles like
Happiness, elated afternoons in the shade, like
Long car trips and tryin' to move where it rains, like
Never thinkin' twice but always usin' your brain and like
Sherlock Holmes and every tune that you sang like
Pie, baking, Seattle, or Portland or
Lack of good fortune
Kisses in the mornin'
Mathematical equations
Empty night skies
Bonfires, poetry, and livin' life right and there's
Beaches, boats, sailing, togetherness
The feelin' like you're smilin' even brighter when the weather's shit
Tellin' all my friends that I was happy when I gotcha and there's coffee shop dates
And certainly Sinatra
Meetin' every mornin' and consortin' by your locker how the first time that we kissed you said you're not much of a talker
Nearly 8 months later
I think you had it backwards
I asked you who you were, said you're cute, you were flattered
Now our story's gotta fill with happily forever afters
And I don't think I could have fallen for you any faster

My phone rings for the nth time as I try to climb up the stairs as fast as I can, out of all days the elevator had to be out of service TODAY, wearing the heavy lehenga seems to add to the misery, I open the door to the hall and see my whole family standing there, 5 years and nothing has changed
Everything was good till I hear Vyara shout out loud and say "there's my sister" I feel everyone coming to a stop and look at me, I feel my cheeks redden at the stunt my sister just pulled...
My eyes roam around in search of my brother but comes to a stop as it notices someone else, the world comes to stop, the people disappear as he lifts up his head to look at me... what is HE doing here?
What happens when you let him go, but fate has other plans for you?
