Big Brother

I can only remember you...big brother 
As a mere memory 
It slowly fades with each passing glimpse 
I have lost you... 

It seems just a while ago 
When you would sit by the window 
Playing your guitar with rhythmical melodies 
The divine sound you played 
It constantly whispers to me, 
Along with the wind of disappearance 

But it seems so long ago 
Since you departed me 
Too long, where even foreverness cannot follow 
The endless path of eternity 

I wanted to be just like you, an evident idol 
I wish each day for your return, 
Although I know too well of its impossibilities 
Because you're forever gone 
I have lost you... 
Not to death, 
But to the influence of drugs and alcohol
