Never Ending Rain

You had to go and that is understood.
Things just weren�t right here for you.
The feeling you have given me
Has left me alone, standing alone.
I�m almost certain that you can see.

During your absence it has given me time
To think of ways I can escape this.
To run away from the pain.
Nothing ever seems to work
It�s almost like a never ending rain.

With you there and me here standing alone
I worry for the day to come
The day when we are further apart
You won�t be there in the coming year,
To help me through things, but you�ll be in my heart.

There is also a fear of being detached,
Of being separate for so long.
We have progressed through the years.
The times we have shared merely brightened my day
And now all I can do is shed the tears.

The hurt that I am feeling right now,
I know that you can feel it inside.
But I want you to remember that once it�s through,
You�ll always be my big brother,
Someone whom I will forever look up to.
