Forever friends/ Skype my tights

The identical twins had (almost) nothing in common.

When they were children, their mother tried

to assimilate them by dressing them alike,

but this only seemed to make them unhappy,

while the differences between them grew.

As adults they were seperated by a geographical

mountain and an emotional ocean.

Against all odds, their relationship was regenerated

when they randomly met in an online chatroom.

One thing they always remained terrified of was wearing

similar outfits – a problem that was solved

by webcams and Skype.

Though they never became as close as twins generally do,

when one died, the other followed shortly.

Some said, the grief was to blame.
