**——— PRE ———**

Don’t break my heart again,

my anxiety did that centuries ago.

It’s not even healed yet.

Don’t break a heart that still grows.

**——— POST ———**

All you did was smile,

all you did was laugh.

And all you did was help

and fight on my behalf.

Anxiety had a competitor.

You broke my heart,

but all you did was stand there.

I wish I could’ve been smart.

I wish I was smarter,

yet I’m glad I fell for you.

But why did I fall so late?

Too early, you flew.

You flew away from me

into the sky.

Too far to reach,

too far to let my eyes dry.

You were never

just another brother.

Instead I bid

farewell, my almost lover.

I just needed to post something.

I’m also working on a couple of romance stories as well, so if you like those, you can watch out for them. They’ll take a second though.
