Al Takes A Chance by HPFangirl71
I look at you brother and I see everything I’ll never have… I watch you and Roy as you make your plans for the future, a future that doesn’t include me. It’s tearing at my heart, pulling it apart but I show you no emotion. I don’t let you see what you're doing' to me; Cause your driving my body crazy and setting my soul afire with a love as forbidden as touching the sun.
I’ve wanted to tell you for so long, to just say those words; Ed I love you and want you, but fear of rejection has kept my love inside but time is running out so damn my foolish pride. If I don’t act soon, Roy will be your husband and then I’ll have no hope at all.
I approach with caution because I know it’s going to be a shocker to you when I say those taboo words, when I tell you how I want you to belong to me and not Roy. It’s going to come as a surprise because you’ve been living in a world of complete oblivion dear brother, never knowing this effect you’ve had on me. You’ll never expect your baby brother to say these things and when my lips press down upon yours I only hope you’ll return my feelings.
Its all I have to offer you, this tainted love of mine… Just the knowledge that I’ve always been there by your side through all the trauma and hardships of your life. Remember brother that it was I who has loved you longer and far better than Roy ever could.
I’m scared of your rejection but I have nothing more to lose, so I have to take this chance… I don't care any longer, if you think I'm crazy. It doesn't matter if it turns out bad because I've got no fear of losing' you. You can't lose what you never had, so now, I'm going to confess that I love you…
