A Warm Hug

Thu, 02/02/2017 - 21:45 -- AHafsa

I wake up every morning

and look to the bed one my side

and find him sleeping

calm, closed eyes. 

 

I push out and walk 

over by him and plant

a soft kiss on his cheek

and fix his kicked off blanket

 

I take my clothes and bag 

and quietly shut the door behind me,

whispering "I love you" on my way out

and begin the day I live 

 

I come back home and drag myself upstairs

change my clothes and brush my hair

and wait for the bell to ring

and his voice and footsteps 

 

He runs to me and 

jumps into my arms

I give him a kiss

and hug him tight

 

My lovely little brother, I couldn't imagine me without him.
