A Brothers Good-Bye

We've known each other from the start. Now it is time to separate and part. It has been the greatest thing, having you as a brother. If I had a choice, I would never choose another. We were divided once before, when you had a girlfriend. We were apart for years, time that together we did not spend. I understood how you felt about her, so I cut you some slack, but 13 years later I feel great because you're back. So for this little amount of time, it is us again, I will always accept you, no matter where you've been. Having you in my life is the greatest thing ever. All the moments we have together, can not be rivaled whatsoever. We lost one brother, he is with us no longer, but out of our struggles, we grow stronger. We have dealt with the good and bad times, but together we face the mountains the other climbs. Now I have to face one of my biggest fears, letting you move away and not seeing you for years. When we talk, you won't be in the next room, so our everyday talks, become rare and full of gloom. I'll tell you one thing, that I have not any other, that I am proud to sit here and call you my brother. The best moments of my life are with us two, you are not even gone, but I already miss you. I know we'll see each other again, I just wish it was sooner than then. I know I shouldn't but I have to cry. I hate seeing you leave, saying good-bye. 4/28/11
