A/N- this is obivously about my brother. He was killed in September in a car accident (in case any of you were wondering)


Dear brother of mine,

How sweet you are to me!

My heart aches for you so,

But I know that I must let you go.

----

Oh, how I miss you!

Why did you leave me here alone?

I wish I could turn back time,

Make you come back home for you are mine.

----

She stole you from me

I was jealous and wanted you back

We used to have so much fun

Then you met her, and what had begun

Was suddenly done

----

My dance recital was for you

On your birthday, like deja vu

I only apologize for a lack of confidence in myself

But I knew you were with me

I felt you lift me

----

You've missed so much, Brother dear

My first year of high school is now at a clear

I wish you had been here to help me through

To keep me sane, to keep my heart true

I fear I have lost faith in myself without you here

----

Oh, how I wish that you are near

You are so close but so far away

Please, keep me from falling astray
