To the brother, I always wanted but never had.
As a kid, I always wanted one,
The one who pulled my leg, the one who’d have my back.
Although my sister checked most of the boxes, there was a very hollow space within, a part of me that always wished.
Tried to fill the gap with many unknowns.
Known then, whom I adored.
But as they say, the right ones always stay, the wrong ones leave.
I witnessed them making space, leaving me hollow again.
I’d always end up weeping, for I didn’t know destiny was playing its game, doing its duty.
Duty of cleaning up after making a mess.
I had the urge for the longest.
Never knew something would ever be right.
Never wanted to have that feeling, just to be abandoned again.
But somewhere deep within, I always prayed.
I still remember the day dad insisting on meeting someone.
With all due respect, I wanted to hard pass.
I made up the courage but couldn’t speak out loud.
"Half hour wouldn’t hurt", I had said to myself.
I wanted to get it done with.
To my luck, my stars were all aligned.
I’d only wished for a brother but little did I know, I’d get another family attached.
Yes! I found a soul whose as crazy as I am.
Cheers! To the brother, I always wanted but never had.
