We don’t share a mother, we don’t share a dad,
But he’s been the best brother I’ve ever had.
No bloodline, no last name shared,
Just a bond that’s real—built because we cared.
We met back in December, cold skies, low light,
Didn’t know back then he’d change my life.
From that day on, through highs and lows,
He’s been the one who truly knows.
He was there when my dad wasn’t around,
When I felt lost, he held me down.
He’s seen me laugh, he’s seen me cry,
He’s been my calm when the storms blow by.
One night, I fell asleep on Google Meet,
He stayed the whole time—quiet, sweet.
Didn’t hang up, didn’t make a sound,
Just stayed there ’til morning rolled around.
He’s seen my best and my worst, too.,
Still tells me, “Take care, I believe in you.”
He’s been through hell and kept his fight,
Still makes sure I’m doing right.
But what gets me mad, what makes me tired,
It is when people bring up what has once expired.
Yeah, we used to date—but that’s the past,
We built something real that actually lasts.
He’s my brother now, through and through,
So don’t confuse old with something new.
He moved down from Texas to Fairmont, too.,
Even fifty minutes away, we make do.
He said, “If someone hurts you, it’s done.”
And I know he means it—he’s that one.
Protective, loyal, built from the heart,
That’s my brother, been that from the start.
No matter the talk, no matter the chatter,
Blood or not—it doesn’t matter.
So no, we don’t share a mother or father,
But that doesn’t change it—he’s still my brother.
Through time, through trust, through everything—
EJ’s family—my forever thing.
