Putting down the phone, an unconscious smile I brought with me
feeling thankful, to have him in my life.
it was not the longest conversation, neither the most interesting of all
just a word of concern in my job-hunting desperation
no it isn't the pretty boy that flutters my heart
it isn't the punk that shares my liking in the kids who get up*
19 years my senior, he's seen me through the phases
he's my brother, whom I've learnt to love and from whom I learnt to enjoy the company of family togetherness.
