Dear brother.

I feel weird calling you that, but I guess by the literal definition of the word, that's what you are.

Sometimes I wonder. I wonder about a lot, I wonder if you look like me. Do you have dark hair like I do? Is it straight like mine is? Do you have dark eyes like I do? Do you have that slightly demented smile like I have? Do you have that green patch of iris in one eyeball like I do?

I wonder...

I wonder if you grew up like I did? I was born in London and have pretty much lived here all of my life. As far as I know you were born in London too, we could have passed eachother in the street and have been none the wiser. Or maybe you live somewhere completely different. I like to think that you do. I hope it's somewhere interesting. I hope it's somewhere filled with colours and colourful people. Do you spell "colour" like I do? Maybe you're an American with a funny accent. Or maybe I'm the one with the funny accent.

You're older than I am, that much I do know. I wonder if you're married, do you have a wife? I wonder if you have kids?

I have neither.

I wonder what you're parents are like. Do you have two? Or just the one like I have?

I know our father walked out on both of us. Maybe you have a stepdad?

I wonder if you're mother is as hilarious as mine?

I wonder if you have siblings? I have a brother, we look similar, we like similar things but we act very disimilar.

I wonder if we share any traits like brothers are supposed to?

Do you like books? Do you play instruments like I do? Do you always skip breakfast like I do? Do you frown unconciously at everything? Do you sleep ridiculously late and wake ridiculously early? Do you have the music tastes of a middleaged man like I do? Are you a middleaged man?

Do you know I exist?

I wonder...

Can you roll your tongue? Can you not walk past a homeless person without giving them some change like I do. Do you feel out of place? I hope you dont like I do.

Are you quiet like I am?

I wonder alot of things.

I guess most of all, I wonder...Are you happy?

I hope we meet someday,

Your unknown brother.
