My Brother
Affection is a mutual feeling
sometimes it has no bounds
and affection it was that I entertained
when you came into my life
An adult brother
A mid teen
you came in laughing like the sun
making things seem brighter
you changed my whole perception of life
your senseless jokes
your varied talk
your childish heart
and caring soul
your will to change
your sound advice
your free affection
the right you claimed
You proved to be the brother
Any sister will want to have
I never realized though until the end
that it was YOU who changed my life
and not me yours !
Time has passed
Time has come ….
To let go of what once was mine …
Now that I know
you are not there for granted
I realize how much I really cared.
Something beyond affection, something beyond care
I never doubted you were mine!
The goodbye is hard.
It’s having its toll
I feel so torn apart
A wrenching in my soul
a pain in my heart
a suffocation in my throat
and angry , tearless sighs
Because: I don’t want to let go
And it hurts so much more
Now that I know
You cared even more ………………………..
