i sat down next to your shaking body. you didn't even look at me. broken. i took your hand in mine. you didn't react.
"it's okay to cry, brother. listen to me, you have the right to cry," i said, my words were barely above the whisper.
it was like a dam that was holding back the ocean of your tears broke. you started shaking even more. you cried. i've never seen you cry like that before. i held onto your warm hand, trying to somehow give you what's left of my strength.
i waited for you to fall asleep before my dam broke too.
