My Brother

My Brother

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk
"

I love you forever!

"
His lonely back I just watched him as he walked along
And tears welled up so I cried
Because I hated myself for not knowing all this time of your pain 
Because he always pretended to be calm and smiled kindly at me without any sense of sadness 
Because he always pretended to be strong in front of me which I hate him for that 
I didn’t even think of his pain because I was only thinking of myself
I thought I would never see it because of his beautiful smile that swept my sorrows from me
So I didn’t know about his loneliness 

I didn’t know back then, I was too young to see the pain in his eyes
You must have been lonelier than anyone else in this world 
But I didn’t notice it nor asked you if you were okay
I finally know now, I hope it’s not too late to give you the same warmth you gave me growing up
These are the words I wanted to say so much but never said it
I love you forever and will remember your sacrifices for me 
My beloved brother 

After seeing him and realizing his pain
I ran to him and just hugged him tightly
I wanted to just cry
I wanted to cry in his arms
Because my gratitude toward you was so sad and I never realized the things you did for me 

I didn’t know back then, I was too young to see the pain in his eyes
You must have been lonelier than anyone else in this world 
But I didn’t notice it nor asked you if you were okay
I finally know now, I hope it’s not too late to give you the same warmth you gave me growing up
These are the words I wanted to say so much but never said it
I love you forever and will remember your sacrifices for me 
My beloved brother 

You pretend to feel better after letting out a deep sigh yet I know it's a lie to protect me
I can see your invisible tears despite my blindness for years
You don’t cry over your scarred heart like I did growing up with you
With the painful wounds
I made those scars but why do I keep blaming you?
And your eyes show you were tired but you still smiled warmly at me
Telling me you were okay and then asking if I was okay


But you hid it, such a liar
Now I will embrace you, you can lean on me this time
I will return the things you did for me, I will hold your warm hand and wipe your tears away like you did for me 
And your eyes showed you were tired
But you hid it
You're such a liar
You are my forever love to me and I will cherish you

Your beaten hands, your scarred heart
Your loneliness, I’m not used to any of those
Maybe that’s why I was like that, that’s why I hurt you without knowing it 

I haven’t done anything for you
I haven’t given anything to you but
These are the words I wanted to say so much but never said it
I love you forever and will remember your sacrifices for me 
My beloved brother
