As we sit alone,
I watch and wait...
How could you not tell me,
Were those things he spoke of true...
He sees beauty in her eyes,
Through her soul and painful cries...
Dear Brother,
I miss you much...
I can’t say I don’t love you,
Because I always will...
Today, Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for the 5th of May...
The Battle of Puebla, though it ended in defeat...
The pain is so unbearable,
I cannot sleep at night...
You filled me with laughter.
You filled me with love...
Now that you are gone,
I put together pieces of your face...
In the darkness there are my fears,
And in the light I shed my tears...
A fire in her Eyes,
Of all the times she cried...
I’m gonna wait for the day we say hi,
Through thick and thin with every tear I cry...
