Brothers

I have many brothers
who tell me
I love you.

And every other time
our family
and other friends
see us overjoyed to see each other

sometimes it’s just a few hours later

Oh how they stare admiringly
when we hug and banter our senses away.

Si you just get married then

laughter

A common line goes

If you see them you see me
I was not there
But they gave you the same feeling.

That is my brothers.
