You were never there.
we have never met.
But you are my brother.
I lived in the same house as you.
walked the same halls.
Fought with the same parents.
But fate took you away.
You made impressions,
the have lived and remained beyond you.
I am forever linked to you.
Your face.
Your smile.
But above all,
the loss.
We never met,
never spoke,
never fought.

But I love you,
and always will.
I know who you are.
You are my brother.
But I have to remember you,
through the memories of others.

May 1992
