To my Twin,
We have been together since day 1. Those nine months to the next years of our lives we will always be together. When people ask me if it's cool to have a twin, my response is, "it's just like having any other sibling." Actually its much more than that.
You were my first friend. I always had someone to play with. Mom and dad would dress us in ridiculous matching clothes, and then we would just tear them apart when they weren't looking. When I was sad, you would give me a hug before mom or dad could, and I did it back. We were inseparable.
Then the day came. The first day of school. We were so excited that we got to ride the bus together. Then we arrived at school, and you weren't in class with me. We had to make all new friends. My first and only friend wasn't with me all day anymore. Even though we were only 5 years old, that was the hardest thing we ever had to go through.
As the years went by, we saw each other everyday, but we started becoming individuals. We were not the twins who were together all the time. We were our own individuals. Mom and dad noticed that we didn't play together anymore, and that we had our own group of friends. We argued more and more as we grew older. You had your computers and tools, I had my sports and music. We became complete opposites. Most people didn't even know we were related because we didn't look alike, and we never saw each other in school. When people did realize that we were related, we would laugh and then go on with our day. When school ended we would meet back at home, ask each other how our day went, then go onto our own things like we did everyday.
Graduation day came, and it was great to walk the stage together. That summer, I planned on going to school out of state, and we started to realize we wouldn't see each other everyday. You wouldn't be right there every morning and every night. We don't go to the same school anymore. No one knows who you are here. When I tell people I have a twin, they think it's so cool, and ask what "her" name is and if "she" looks just like me and whether or not we are close. My response is "HIS" name is Jonathan, and "HE" looks nothing like me. We are complete opposites, and we aren't as close as people might think.
When I came to college, I realized how much I really miss seeing you and talking to you everyday, and knowing that someone has my back when someone is picking on me. You have my back just like I have yours. I miss the days when we would find out someone was talking smack about us and the other would go and settle it. I miss fighting with you, I miss hiding your stuff, but most of all I miss you hiding around the corner just to jump out and scare me. I miss you being around all the time. I know you're only a phone call away, but it's more fun picking on you in person.
You're the first friend I ever had, and you're my best friend.
Sincerely,
Your Twin sister!
