there I was with my best friend
my one and only
we would laugh and play
he’d follow me around like a magnet
just as it was meant to be
but…
as time passed we grew older
we were not as close
we made different friends–
our personal belongings that the other could not touch
just as it was meant to be
we tried to keep them for ourselves
but our friends took different paths
and once again, all that was left was us
just as it was meant to be
Brothers.
