The Truth of It All

You say you wanna know the truth of it…the real honest-to-goodness truth of it all. Okay…well…you know that I love you brother. Love you probably the same if not more than my own blood kin. And you know that I’d be there for you…in a hot flash…unconditionally. And you know that I’d even “buy the farm” for you…

But…I can’t see you, brother. I honestly can’t be around you. I can’t even stand to visit with you for a few days…or a day…or sometimes just a few hours or so.

You bring it all back. You bring back all those memories…all those memories I’ve been trying so hard to bury. All the terror…all the pain and hurt…all the guilt…all of it!

Oh…I know. I know you really don’t mean to. Shit…I know you’re going through it too. I probably know as much about you as your own family does. Yeah…I know it.

So…my brother, we keep our distance. Long distance…except for the few times when we feel strong enough for it. We can handle long distance communication…at least we’re comfortable with that. Right? Well…just remember…that I love you brother.

Love you probably the same if not more than my own blood kin. And that I’ll be there for you…in a hot flash. But…I can’t see you. And there’s the truth…the truth of it all.
