I thought that he'd hide in the closet, waiting with a smile, as we came and found him. But the closet's empty.
I thought I'd buy them ice cream in the summer, and ruffle his wind blown hair. But he won't see summer.

Once upon a time I thought you'd be with us, but not anymore. Goodbye my baby brother.
