Saying Our Goodbyes
I feel the tears flow down my cheek
Delicate words as he speaks
I remember them as though they were yesterday
But mom says all we can do is pray
Remembering the memory, it’s as though it never ends
Waiting, as time goes on, reading the letters he sends
Flashbacks to childhood with laughs, and hugs
Looking back on the time we made music with jugs
Memories you can never let go
Memories like eating cookie dough
Memories that are treasured forever
But, those are memories that you can never let go
Sometimes sibling can be a hassle
But not when playing and making sand castles
Like father, like mother
That’s my big brother
The one who laughed and played,
Time that seems like yesterday
Memories that will last forever, treasured
Memories that you can only have none other
Memories and feeling you can only have with a brother
So as my arms are wrapped around him
I remember the times he's gone out on a limb
I remember the times i sometimes hated him
I remember the times we laughed and played, and to wish they were yesterday
So as we wave goodbye
We give a great sigh
Even though he is 5,133 miles away
I still talk to him everyday.
