Younger brother

He's so sweet,
the best little brother anyone could ever ask for.
He has a laugh that would make you smile no matter how bad your day was.
His echoing, booming, contagious smile.
I never want anything to hurt him,
I never want to let him go to be corrupted in a world with girls and money-hungry liars.
He has so much potential.
Much more than I ever had at 10.
I want him to grow up to be an alright person.
I want him to learn to think for himself, and speak up, and use his mind in the best way he can.
He already does all of this.
I couldn't ask for more.
He calls me before he goes to bed, to tell me he loves me. He hugs me when he sees me and kisses me goodnight, which is rare in a boyfriend, let alone a little brother.
But this is his nature, this is what makes him one of the most amazing people I know.
His face is so perfect, he is so adorable.
All he wants is to be loved and cared for.
All he wants is to spend time with his family.
He prefers skateboarding with me than playing any video game.
This is rare in children these days,
but not in Alek.
When I think of the future, it makes me glad to know I such a wonderful person is going to do something in this world.
When I think of the future, it makes me sad to think someday he might suffer from the stupidity of the current adults.
I don't want him to suffer.
I want him to be able to do whatever he wants, and fall in love, and be happy.
I want his big blue eyes to see landscapes and stars, not fuel emissions and car crashes.
I don't see how anything bad can happen if the world is filled with amazing little children who have older siblings that are prepared to fight to the death for their happiness.
