Dear Mine

I look back and I remember that day when you were 11 and I, 9. I told my brother while walking under the scorching sun that if I were asked whom I would marry, in the future we all looked forward to, I would say You. I still remember my 7 year old brother saying he knew all along.
I had loved you ever since that Wednesday I met you. I couldn't tell you because I wasn't sure we would last. Didn't they say men propose and God disposes, so I steered clear even when I realized you felt more than I felt for you. Perhaps to avoid the grave disappointment that may meet us at the end of the day.
When you were 17 and I, 15 our families moved out and it could be said that we already moved out of each other's life.
It didn't bother me much because I was prepared for whatever it is even God proposed.
When you were 22 and I, 20 we had reconnected thanks to adult toys. You wanted to be the only one I saw and thought of. We wanted to know ourselves better and possibly make out, as we died to know how our body felt on each other's and how your lips would feel on mine. I also wanted same but I had something to prove to people who thought I was one of the male genders who couldn't control their hormones and as a matter of fact never wrote something home . I wanted to be the ideal Son, brother, cousin, nephew,Uncle , friend but not Lover. Little did I know I was losing you already.
Now you are gone, gone like they say the wind and I think of all we could have been; moments we could have shared, kisses we would have had and hugs with my hands wrapped round your body,my body calling yours home. I think of the item we could have been and the strings that would have made you mine and all I can say is Forgive a Lover like Yours.
Till the day after Forever when we would be each other's unseperable VAl.
Till then Mine.
Yours Alone
