She kept insisting
that I give it to you in person.
"Ziwei"
Haven't you mentioned before that
Xiao Yanzi couldn't read or write?
Yes, I once taught her
how to write my name.
It took her days to learn.

Not a word was written.
Yet it carried so much meaning.
Only you could understand this.
It must've been hard for you.
It's no wonder why
you are sisters.
Only true sisters
