Remember the days
Long will I remember the days;rolling down Parliament House Hill, laughing at stupid pick-up lines, straightening each other's hair, TSUNAMI!, examining the finer points of crazy underpants, indulging in impulse shopping, pouncing on Oporto vouchers, breaking into song, observing the pigeon: both mating and eating, sorting out one another's shenanigans, giggling on long bus rides, embarking upon naked and midnight swimming expeditions, peeling in the hot summer days, complaining about frostbite in the cold winter ones, collaborating of wardrobes...Long will I remember the days;Discovering we were sisters, exploration of chocolate and peanut butter, matching hair colours to foods, watching doily girl strut her stuff in 'A Walk to Remember', supporting one another in Christ, deep and meaningfuls in maths, panic and anxiety attacks in science, Soothing one another's insecurities, the extreme exhaustion of shopping until dropping, being coached into a REAL debating team, the discovery of shower gel, the miracle that is smilies...Long will I remember the days;Making up songs on the courts, pretending to be detectives/secret agants, picking up countless blue milo spoons, clairvoyancy involving the marriage of a chish in an underwater chapel, giggling at our nakedness at the hot springs, constantly inventing new names for our unfortunate children, the miracle of post-it notes and cheekle areas, the panic of losing my buddy Rofus at Osaka airport, the crunch of eating grasshoppers, looking like pineapple women, belting out tunes and the camel song, being subconsciously separated at birth...Long will I remember the days;Discovering Grandpa's toilet brush, Blaming you for everything without realising it was unkind, Singing cute duets to guests at family dinner parties, knowing our entire lives that we would never be alone, deep and meaningfuls at all hours all over Australia, the time you hit your golf ball into the Pacific Ocean, playing hide and seek in mama's walk-in robe, rocking out to Jet in order to dry our hair, running away from home together and planning to sleep in the gutters until mum could find us, searching for everything under the sun that you've lost, beginning pre-school, primary school, high school and college by holding your hand tightly as we entered the new building, knowing that we're two peas in a unique pod...Long will I remember the days;Attempting to straighten the thickest, blondest hair I have yet to encounter, the slow process of becoming friends through friends, laughing at our early attempts to put on make-up, shivering with nervousness at big competitions, tears and pain after falls and losses, singing play school songs at the top of our lungs, many attempts at cooking, anxiously getting ready for socials with the girls, becoming science buddies and carefully ignoring mark, the exhilaration of landing our very first tumbling rows, crying over lost loves to best friends, discovering that our boobs were identical, camping and not showering for 3 days, cute apologetic snores...Like a ghost don't need a key Your best friend I've come to be Please don't think of getting up for me You don't even need to speak...If you're cold I'll keep you warm If you're low just hold on Cause I will be your safety Oh don't leave home
