Met when we were five,
He was lonely, I was too.
We were cousins but we never knew
From then on we would be brothers.

I moved away.
Saw him when I could.
Made the best of the time we had.
Never enough time
Never enough time
Laughed like otters
When we reminisced.

I got married.
He did too.
Not as much laughter,
Never enough time, who knew

That life keeps us away
From the people we love.
Even though they are just down the road.
