My Big Brother and Me

Me and my god-brother Kylin.

This is me and my brother Kylin,

learning how to play together before we could even walk;

becoming friends before we could even talk.

 

This is two life-long friends,

kept together by a friendship between two young women--

our moms.

 

This is two smiling babies,

without a single care in the world.

 

This is before the fighting, before the separation,

before the move. It is when life was simple. Without grades,

video-games, driver's licenses, heartbreak, hockey, debate, or even potty-training.

 

This is before life really started for the two of us,

before I was scared we would drift apart. 

 

This is my one and only older brother,

maybe not by blood,

but by the time we have had together.
