I am hearing his silent broken sobs

My solace, his pain so cruelly robs

I know he's so falling apart all alone

Because tomorrow, he will be gone

But I just can't go and hug him tight

For he will hold back tears in fright

Tonight, I want him to cry out pain

Or else, he will slowly go so insane

He will be going to boarding school

Miles away, for becoming this jewel

All the lights are off and there he lies

As morning approaches 'n' time flies

His upcoming departure so hurts me

Oh I want the time to stop abruptly

I know this decision will bring good

But I will cry for him under my hood

I know numerous nights he'll weep

Missing us all, promises he will keep

But now as my mom consoles him

I think of our memories, oh so dim

For he was this baby so dearly I held

Oh how I kept him carefully shelled

All the days that we spent cheering

Leave tears in eyes that I'm clearing

Back when he fell 'n' broke his arms

Again he'll return to place of harms

The city where twice he got injured

There he goes to make life gingered

I hope things go well for him further

But I'll dearly miss my little brother
