My 7th grader on my 9th grader

Bittersweet Brother
In this memory we are in the woods .
This forest with our club house we built.
You and I have a disagreement.
Harsh words are exchanged as I run off furiously.
I know the argument was pointless.
I will not admit anything that makes me look bad.
We don't talk to each other for hours.
We are in our rooms thinking how much of an idiot the other is.
That was years ago and the same thing happens.
We are on our way to school half asleep.
You are about to depart from your seat.
I look you in the eye.
You look me in the eye.
We do not even recall the disagreement years ago.
We are about to pull away to drop me off.
I call out to you in an uneasy tone,"I love you."
You truly are a bittersweet brother.
