When I first laid eyes on Him, 
All I could think is,
what have I done? 
I don't know what to think of this one. 



The things he's saying,
are not of my world, 
How could we be related?
Let alone sister and brother. 
And there's others, siblings,
dad and mother. 



Part of me is saying to run and get away, 
But I can't,
'cause something inside is telling me, 
That no matter what,
he is a part of me. 



Tries to act tough,
but he really isn't, 
Didn't say much after that first night, 
But watched and listened, alright. 



I could feel him watching me, 
It made me nervous,
but yet I knew, 
There is a bond growing
between us two. 



Younger than me and yet much bigger. 
What is he thinking,
but why should I care. 
He won't change me,
this teddy bear. 



I can feel some pain in him, 
What caused it and how deep does it go 
Why can I feel this;
God I don't know. 



When we finally hugged, 
The feeling I got was out of this world. 
Love,
that was never in my world.

 

I don't know what he's feeling. 
I only hope,
this feeling of mine won't end. 
I want him as my brother
but also as my friend. 



He's in my heart
and in my thoughts, 
He just won't go away. 
My love is growing stronger
every single day.

 

After all I've been through, 
How can this man change
my world around. 
I'm flying so high,
my feet don't touch the ground. 



Is this a dream,
or is it real. 
Is he really a brother of MY OWN? 
He's given me a love,
I've never known.
