We started awkward

You won’t talk and you seldom smile

Always putting a barrier so no one will become familiarize to you

Then we let it be

But you continued to come

That’s when the bridge started to burn

You let us come in

But it was never easy

There are times you still hide on your shell

There are times you won’t let out a single word

Yet we worked that out

I didn’t expect it but you became my companion

A brother that I will cherish forever

You’re so sweet and gentle

And the way we talked it’s like we’re blood related

It goes on and I thought it will stay like that

But then you suddenly changed

I don’t know why

Is it because of the hormones?

Someone told me; maybe because he’s growing older now

Maybe he’s maturing

Is it really because of that?

Is it really because of your maturing body?

Or is it something else?

I don’t get it at all and sometimes I’ll find myself wondering

“What have I done this time?”

Whatever happened to you, I will always miss that boy

Who will reach out my hand and smile at me.
