The Boy Next Door To the Man I Adore

The sun radiates my face 
when I think of the place 
the boy next door
the silly smile on his face
the jersey he wore 
on the basketball court
to his tight fitting pants
as we danced on the floor
the finest looking brother
a true friend, not my lover
my mind often wondered
as  we became less younger
like the forbidden fruit 
we have love for one another
and every so often
paths do cross
that man in the suit
I knew would be you
the boy next door 
to the man I adore
a man of decision
that towers with vision
the oldest of three brothers
has the walk of his father
and as each time we met
his vision had grown taller.
