More Than Brothers, Not Quite Soulmates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I look at you now and I see you, not like everyone else does, but like only I could.
I see your eyes sparkle when you look at your son, and I see your smile light up a room when he calls you ‘daddy’ and runs over to you.
I see the way you look at your wife, the way your face always seem to come alive whenever she’s around.
You look so different now, compared to how you looked before.
You look like you are a new man, and I know deep down in my heart that you are.
Things change. It’s as simple as that.
We change! I always knew that.
I never took for granted what we had, never thought it could last, and never really imagined I could have you in the first place.
But I got you, if only for a short time, before she came into your life, again.
For a time you were mine, and I was yours, and it was all we ever needed.
We were more than brothers, but not quite soulmates! I didn’t know that then, couldn’t understand why you wanted her.
But I know that now. I know now that she is all that you need, and that one day, if I’m lucky, I’ll find someone as well.
Someone who completes me the way she completes you.
I see you with your family, and I know that I want that too.
I see that way you look at your son, how he is the most important thing in your life.
I see the way you look at you wife, the mother of your child, and I recognize it, for it is the same way you used to look at me…
FIN.
