They didn’t know I watched them.
They didn’t know I was always there - in a corner or in the shadows along a wall. They didn’t know that, from the very moment I chose them, I watched them every single step of the way.
No matter where they were; no matter what they were doing.
They didn’t know I watched as they sought answers to mysteries that the average person never knew about - or just pretended to ignore. They didn’t know I watched as the older would comfort the younger, as he would protect and guide him as best as he could.
They didn’t know I watched when the younger sought answers to those unanswerable questions in the only place he knew, in the only place that - for all of his life - had always held the answers.
They didn’t know I watched them when he looked up, seeking answers to questions only his brother could give him.
Because only his brother had never let him down.
They didn’t know I watched them … and realized every day where their paths would end up …
And they didn’t know - would never know - that I was sorry.
