I got chu bro.


He lays there.
His arms wrapped around me,
With his eyes closed.
So little, so delicate.
Not even a week old.

I lay there,
My arm wrapped around his back,
With my eyes slightly open,
Trying to match my breathing with his.

I wished I was like him.
Young.
Too young to understand this world.
Too young to have regrets.

He just lays there.
Sound asleep.

I wrote this piece about a picture that my older sister took of my baby nephew, Avery, and I.
