I never got the chance to meet you
You died before I was even born
I think about you as if I knew you
I know you see the way I mourn
I cry for you all the time
Just wishing to have you by my side
I want to see your lovely face
I want to feel your sweet embrace
It hurts this much and to think I never met you
If I had, imagine what I'd be going through
I have a father, a sister, and a mother
The only thing that's missing is you, my brother.
This story reminds me of my little brother and my big sister. They were miss-carriages, about a year before and a year after I was born, and I still see the lingering pain in my mother's eyes...
My Brother
