brother.

all the sudden 
he's wearing this brand new kindness 
that i've never really seen
him try on before. 
it suits him well. 
i don't know how to react to it
because it seems 
too good to be true, 
not even real,
but i think it is.
i think it really is.
softer words instead of sarcasm.
affection instead of anger. 
i will plant myself beneath the 
rays of his sunshine kindness
and soak it 
up while i can.
please don't ever go away.
