Had I loved you less, my sister,
 the sky wouldn’t have been so blue and the birds
so free. The flowers you planted have blossomed in a plethora of colours. The cat
that you left behind prowls about happily, knowing that it is loved. Whatever you
took from me, unreturned, is the only gift I could ever give you. Will you take 
a true gift from me, my friend? Will you keep my love safe in your heart?
