Longing to be with you

With each passing day the distance between our hearts is increasing and so is my longing to be with him

We grew up holding each others' hands

I followed every step that you took

All I wanted was to be like you

Anything that you did always seemed perfect to me

Though we have never tried telling each other

How much we care for and love each other

I think we should have articulated it

So we could shun the newly developed aloofness between our hearts

How much I pine for your presence

How much I miss tickling your tummy

How much I yearn for you to hold my hand in yours

How much I long to play cricket with you

People say whatever happens it happens for the best

What good did all these bickering bring to any of us?

I just want to run to you and hold you tight

Cry to my heart’s content and say to you over and over again

“I love you my dear brother and I cannot afford to lose you ever….
