He and I

We live in this world, We came to life as twins, he and I. But we were different. He was my advantages and I was his disadvantages.
We lived together in spite of our differences and we were glad in each other. He always tried to help me in thinking positively and was a light in my dark days.

We talked about many things and there was never calm in my head for he never stopped talking, but it was just fine with me.
I knew that he did this just to make me happy and optimistic. Together we experienced good and bad days, summers and winters, springs and autumns.
He used to love it when he understood my thoughts, used to listen with joy and never hesitated to give his advice when was needed.

"Grow up": once he said to me, " look at the future, let free your feelings, let your soul fly in this world. Break the thick wall of fear between you society".
He taught me to be kind with others, warm and generous." One must continue even if one falls, loses or becomes sad.
Man is not lazy and always tries to be hard working specially in his teen age years. But there are unexpected circumstances that makes man stop.". This was his motive.

On my 16th birthday I decided to end things between us, because he was still a kid. I decided to face life alone. I fought and still fighting alone in this world but I am lonely and miss him.
He will never leave me alone. He lives in my heart and I can still hear that boy shouting in my past's playground. He shouts, laughs and I cry. I wish I can go back with time and hug him till eternity.
He will always be in me because...

He is me
