I followed you since your birth
Going where you went
I promised my body to you… I would protect you forever
For me the reason was simple
I was the older brother… and we’re meant to protect those that come after us
That’s all the reason I needed
Together we would walk
Enduring all the pain, hate, sorrow of the world
No matter what fate threw at us you always had a warm smile
The day our sister died you couldn’t even cry
You wanted to be brave just for me
No matter how much pain how much sadness that came our way
You wore that smile
Even in the mist of your last moments you wore that smile
That smile is what I wanted to protect…
You where so innocent you deserved better
Even through all the pain I felt no matter how great you gave me the strength to go on
I held your hand that night… with the dimming florescent lights flickering in the background
You lay still…like a fading angel ready to be claimed by god
You told me that you loved to dream you’d always say “every time I dream every one is so happy and your always smiling brother!”
You whispered my name in your sleep
I gave a slight smile… and just broke down crying
But not just tears of sorrow…but ones of happiness as well
Because now you can dream forever…
