[ Do you remember him? ]

Do you remember him?
It's alright, to be fair
he's been living without you, too, but
do you?
'Cause the way you pass him by
makes it seem unlikely.
He's the boy hanging his head
and smoking his lungs black on the corner there.
There was a day where you'd have melted
into his arms, glad to have him in your life
but he's become inconvenient, hasn't he?
There was a day where he'd mend your heart
with soft words and ice cream.
There was a day when he didn't drink
and you didn't know what sex was,
but you found out and now you're gone
from him.
He hasn't forgotten, you know,
how good it felt to laugh and drive fast
with you and sometimes
he imagines that you remember those days too
and smile.
But somehow, he's ended up
with the short end of the stick,
missing you while you're draped
over that boy.
Why is it that your new boyfriends
require you
to abandon your brother?
He misses you, you know.  But
do you remember him?
