My Dear little brother, how alone you must have felt.
Alone in the world without any help.
Not knowing if anyone cared.
I know it's not fair without family and the memories we shared.
There's nothing that we could do to bring time back.
I just want you to know we love you no matter where you are.
So if this is the first time in your life that you feel loved.
It's coming from our hearts, from up above.
There have been so many years you have been by yourself.
Without family around and no one to help.
Even if it was to just say "hi" or goodbye.
We have all been invisible and we don't know why.
I think about you and I get so sad.
I'm sure you do too when you are mad.
So please let me open my arms up once again.
To let you know that I'm always there when you need a friend.
Life is too short for you not to know.
How I feel inside
I just can't let it go.
So until we see each other again.
May God bless you, little brother
We are still best friends.
