Brother

Feels sometimes, like it's not all a dream like maybe... just maybe I'm not crazy and you do love me, even if it's just in the amazing younger sister kinda way. The way you look at me like you've always got something to say. How you always know when I'm sad and what I want to hear. All the unexplainable inside texts that randomly reach my phone throughout the day. And the way you brush past me close enough to hear a whisper. The way you promise to protect me from any harm that may come my way. How you know I deserve it all but I'd never ask for it. And because I can make you smile on the worst conceivable day with nothing but a look. I love you still.
