Dear Brother

The way you are is why you are original and one of a kind 
Only one and always worth more then most

My life is empty without a breath of air yet my lungs feel full knowing you are there
Years go by without ever knowing bottled inside from fear of showing

But I could never ask in a million years ask for anyone else to help scare my fears
Respect I try to give to you to try my best to return the love to you
One day maybe I could become good enough and strong enough to try to be true 
The words I wish to say to you so you know how much I care
Hard often for me to do so when life is so unfair
Everyday I try my best to make the empty go away 
Remembering just your very voice reminds me there's got to be a way

So sad when we lost those close to us, even sadder at this time of the year..
