To connect to you
Because you are my brother
I will make an effort to enter your world
I will not think as much about what I need from you
After all you did not choose to bring me into this world
And you suffered too
But in ways you may have buried
Because you are my brother I will reach out in love and hope
That this time a bridge of love may open up
Between us
Over which my longing can flow
For what use will it be to deny and bury it
Out of hurt
Wont that just end up hurting us both
Much more in the end?
Because you are my brother
I love you
Even when you do not notice or fill my emotional needs
Because now I am an adult that is up to me
Not you
Dear brother
