my little brother all grown up, originally uploaded by _anjolie_.

i love my brothers
and my little brother, well….
somehow he grew up between when i saw him last
and when i saw him this time

he gave me a big hug tonight before i left
never knowing just when i’ll see him again
i cried
more this time than any other time
(this being open and feeling stuff is an odd place to live in)

he hugged me tight
and never let go
until i knew i had to let go
and even then
he kissed me on the forehead

i don’t wanna leave
i know i said this before
but i really, really, really hate the leaving part.
