Brothers
I love my family like anybody would.
But the only family I have left is a sibling, a brother in fact.
He was there for me when I was in need and he also raised me.
We were very close.
His country is a part of me so that's probably one reason why we had a sibling relationship that some people envied.
Sometimes it was hard to believe that he was the older brother.
We lived in the same house, ate in the same kitchen, and shared our favorite food and drink choice.
We were like two peas in a pod at times.
We also shared some of our friends.
We fought rarely.
Him and my two best friends, who are like my brothers, knew my deepest secrets.
Even though I looked more like our grandfather, he loved both of us equally.
And we both had pets. And, if needed, we took care of each others pets.
We took care of each other hand and foot when were to sick to move. Just because we cared for each other that much.
And we loved each other with such a brotherly bond, no one could brake it. Even with all their mite.
But now,
Now I have no one else that lives in my house with me,
No one else eats with me in my kitchen,
No one else shares my favorite food and drink choice,
No one else is a pea in a pod with me,
No one else shared some of my friends,
No one else besides my two best friend, who are like my brothers, know my deepest secrets,
No one else besides me is loved by my grandfather,
No one else takes care of my pets,
No one else would take care of me hand and foot if I was to sick to move,
And no one else could love me in a brotherly bond that someone couldn't break, even with all their mite.
All because only my brother,
Gilbert Beilschmidt, could do that.
Now I stand in a field that me and him played in when we were younger,
Under a tree,
That has a head stone that reads
' Gilbert Beilschmidt '
With a fresh bouquet of roses that I placed down with my eyes filled with tears that blurred my vision.
But I always have a quote in the back of my mind that he told me,
' I will be in a better place, where I will be able to see our grandfather again. And maybe ,one day, we both will meet again'...
