a letter to my baby brother.

Up until July 17, 2013
I didn't believe
perfection existed.
Your blue eyes,
so curious
with a look
that seemed
to just wander
and wonder
and put me
at ease.
Looking into those
eyes, I knew then
that everything
would finally be okay
there would be no more pain.
The dimples in your rosy cheeks
and the curve of
your full face smile
told me I could finally let go.
Your little hand
wrapped around
my finger and
mended my poor heart.
And though you may
not ever understand why
I love you so
Just know...

you saved
my life.
