As A Brother Loves

Part 5

Seto, why are you so sad?

Have I done something bad?

Why can't you see

How much you mean to me?

Mokuba, your friends are waiting

You'd better go and see

Before the waiting turns to hating

Not towards you, but me.

Seto, your eyes have gone so dark

As you look out to the park

What is it you see

That makes you turn from me?

Brother, why are you still here?

Go, laugh, be happy

You've nothing left to fear

Don't hesitate for me.

Seto, I'm not leaving you

Until you tell me what's wrong

Why hide what's true?

You don't have to be so strong.

Mokie, you don't understand.

For you, a hand is meant to shake

To me, a raised hand

Means to hurt and take.

I know, Seto, I do

Did you think I didn't see?

All the terrors that you

Tried to hide from me?

I tried to hide my fears

I tried to hide my pain

I didn't want your tears

Just that you laughed again.

Do you know what makes me cry?

Do you know what brings me pain?

That you can look at this sky

And see only endless rain.

It isn't how I meant it to be

That wasn't what I meant to do

Mokuba, don't you see?

I would never hurt you.

Then laugh, Seto, and smile

Let me take your side

Things will be better in a while

And we won't have to hide.

I want to, brother

But I can't remember how

Distrust of others

Is all I know now.

I'll show you, Seto, I will

Just let me take your hand

I'll wait for you until

You can finally understand.

Thank you, Mokie.

You're welcome. Always.

Final chapter. Understanding. I love these two. R&R?
