When I see your face and say wow how you've grown I wish we could be close like brothers and sisters should be but inside my head I know that will never happen.

I shouldn't feel this or miss a boy I never really knew who is now a man.

I was happy the day I found out I had a brother but when I found out he did not feel the same it causes my soul ache

I couldn't help the tears I shed over the memories we will never have.

We should have been together from the moment you were born but that didn't happen.

We were dealt unlucky card.

Because maybe we would have been friends and a real family not just by the blood we share but the love in our hearts.

We would have always been there for each other no matter what.

Oh how I wish for this but I know it will never be true that alone makes my heart blue.
