Dear Brother-of-mine,
When you left, you took a piece of us with you.
I demand of the universe that you return that to us.
When you left, you taught us lessons in abiding love and compassion.
I demand that I am allowed one last time to practice that lesson on you.
When you left, you bound disagreeable people in a unique agreeable bond.
I demand that I am allowed to choose quarrels over losing you.
This day comes every year, and I shall cherish my bonds year after year.
And yet, my heart yearns for the chance to cherish that one bond.
Jyothi
