Dear, sweet, precious brother

Come,
sweet brother,
The rain has stopped,

Don't be afraid,
My tiny body,
can protect you,

Discover the world,
together,
As did our forefathers,

Be carefull,
for you won't be,
just like our father,

But make sure,
dear brother,
that you keep mother's eyes,

Teach me,
world's greatest,
and smallest lessons,

Catch me,
when I fall,
and take away my fears,

Carry me,
on your back,
across impassible lands,

Need me,
like I need you,
in the cold nights,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hate me,
furious brother,
and love me afterwards,

Talk to me,
I'll be better,
I promise,

Ignore,
my harsh words,
They're not meant for you,

Scare me,
with your angry screams,
and then hold me tight,

Be dissapointed,
when I act,
like a little child,

Yell,
angry brother,
at my stupid ways,

Accept,
when I apologize,
with tears in my eyes,

When tears spill,
on my cheeks,
don't hide your own,

Don't be,
too hard on me,
I can't help it,

Please soften,
your big eyes,
when you look at me,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't cry for me,
sad brother,
I'll be fine,

You can hold me,
close to you,
all night long,

Tell me,
your feelings,
and we'll share them honestly,

Don't be sad,
You will not lose me,
I won't ever go,

Don't look at me,
with pity eyes,
I'm not the one who's sad,

Please understand,
wise brother,
all of my decisions,

Hug me,
as much as you can,
and I'll hug you back,

Believe me,
when I say,
that it's time to let me go,

Quit trying,
to stop the time,
for it heals your wounds,

Promise me,
you will never,
froget who I was,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why can't you see,
beloved brother,
how small I really am,

Do you love,
the world,
just like it loves you,

Don't try to convince me,
I'm stubborn,
just like you,

Stop trying,
'cause some things,
just can't be fixed,

Don't fight,
my words,
I'm too tired,

Don't expect too much,
precious brother,
I'm not that strong anymore,

Kiss my forehead,
every night,
and watch over me,

Try to fall in love,
with life,
just like I have,

Let me teach you,
what I know,
It is my turn now,

Don't avoid,
my empty eyes,
For they will be closed soon,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listen to me,
big brother,
'cause this time I am the wisest one,

Smile,
with me,
one last time,

Let me in,
and I will warm,
your far too big heart,

Laugh,
at my silly jokes,
It is never too late,

Believe in me,
and I'll come to you,
in your dreams,

Sleep,
cherished brother,
and I'll lie next to you,

Listen how my breath,
has a shorter rythym,
than yours,

Feel,
my tiny heartbeat,
fading slowly,

And don't cry,
but touch me,
It's your last chance,

Hold my hand,
and feel the warmth,
disappear slowly,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My big brother,
You've done all that I asked you,
Could you now please let me go...
