What Would I Take With Me
What would I take with me
If I were stuck on an abandoned island?
I would take you.
Sure, I could take a journal
But you’re already my human diary
I could take a tv
But your stories are better than cable
I am 1000 pieces of broken glass
And you are the glue that will put me back together
You have, put me back together
When you found me crying in the locker room
Because I was too embarrassed about my weight
And you found out I hadn’t eaten in 3 days
You are the comedy I’m looking for
When I need to smile
You are the sister that will talk to me
When I need my family
You are the only one that I tell my secrets too
Because you’re the only one I trust them with
And you’re the only one I can vent to
About my ex’s when they’re being dumb
Because I know you’ll understand
If I were stuck on an abandoned island,
Trust me, I don’t want this to be a “LOST” situation
Where we have to run from an evil, smoky figure
But if it were, I would put you behind me
So I can protect you
You’ve already proven that you’ll always protect me
If I were stuck on an abandoned island
I would take you
Because you’re not just my best friend
You’re my other half.
