BROTHER/BOYFRIEND
we grew up together.
our names were forever intertwined, and we took turns at crushing on each other.
our milestones were swirled together, like my first pool game and the day you became a man and i a woman.
i miss you, brother/boyfriend.
what would you do if you were here?
would you hold me and hug me and kiss my wounds away?
would you find them and defend me and make them go away?
or would you (more likely) ruffle my hair and talk me into giggles and tease my tears away –
(you just see me as a little sister.)
