That was Then This is Now
Samantha Vescovi
Then
I didn't realize the importance,
The importance of having your older brother.
I didn't think I would miss him when he grew old.
I thought I would be relieved by his absence.
I thought I would have a bathroom to myself
Instead of just a shelf.
I thought I would be able to eat all the good food first.
I thought I would be a little less annoyed.
But that was then.
Now
I love my brother more than anything.
He’s my best friend.
He’s the only person I can confide in.
He helps me get through life at the hardest moments.
He never lets me get too selfish.
He never lets me get too serious.
At this point in time,
He can take up my whole bathroom
He can eat all the food
He can annoy me until I start to cry,
But as long as he’s around, I will continue to have a smile growing on my face.
This is now.
