During childhood we consider them to be our first friend. The ones who are always there to play with us. They might have fought with us and bullied us but when another kid dared to do the same they defended us. The eldest sibling tends to be authoritative and responsible because they are made to be in charge when the parents aren’t around. The middle child is usually moody and is neglected by parents.

Scorpio looked at me with those magnetic eyes , I felt I was reaching the highs. Oh! Those hypnotic eyes, My those enigmatic eyes. Scorpio's poisonous passion,   Was in his eyes, And he made me blush; And brought tears to my eyes. Scorpio said he loved me, He said he wanted me. I said ''There are three''. ''How can I only love thee?'' His Scorpio elixir of passion, I had to ignore. For there was a secret, Which he bore. There was one problem, A very big problem! Scorpio would only be faithful to me, If he felt so toward me. Scorpio I had to bid farewell, Oh! That handsome devil! He wished me well, I wished him well. Now in the room, there were two, Cancer and Capricorn, ooh! Capricorn looked at me in the same way, Bogie must have looked ...
