do you know how amazing you are?
will she ever know all the love you could so easily give to her?
and why not make your feelings known?
more painlessly said than done

I cannot possibly know how she thinks

I have loved you
seen you from both sides now
searched for you

and found the closest of brothers
the smallest of children
the bravest of soldiers
you are all that I could never be

could she see you the ways I've seen you?

and many more ways?

if she knows you
she will see all of you

you are my brother
I only want you to be happy
and
in the end
when all is said
and more is done
you will be
