A Warm Hug
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.
