You were my brother.   My first best friend I could trust. She told my secrets, I couldn't trust her. I could trust you, have fun with you, be smart and nerdy with you. I loved you. I told you how I felt. You told me how you felt. Miscommunication and a bird talking in my ear ruined us I lashed out at you, you apologized. Why didn't I realize? Yes, you are my best friend.  I'm sorry.  Don't leave now. You didn't leave. High School You barely speak to me. I am now uncool. You are above me. You mock me to your friends behind my back. I convince myself that you would never.... I loved you.... you wouldn't.... would you? Senior Year Your best friend mocks me cyberbullies me nearly kills me by my own self-inflicting hand. But what is this? You could have stopped him But I wasn't worth your pride. You couldn't tell him no. So I nearly gave up my life Out of self loathing. You were my brother. I loved you.   You wanted to love me. Why did you do this. **** you Benson.  I have no brother.  And no love for you.

You Were my Brother
You were my brother.   My first best friend I could trust. She told my secrets, I couldn't trust her. I could trust you, have fun with you, be smart and nerdy with you. I loved you.

Yes, you are my best friend.  I'm sorry.  Don't leave now. You didn't leave. High School You barely speak to me. I am now uncool. You are above me. You mock me to your friends behind my back.
