Revised Version , tried to make it more personal

If only you knew

If only you knew

That taking on that Red, White, and Blue

would cause such sadness and sorrow.

You’re forever gone til tomorrow.

We were always together

because you’re my baby brother

If only you knew

Your dark skin and tall stature

brought comfort to mom and me,

but now that you’re gone

We miss you a ton

If only you knew

All the bickering and bothering

about your big black (dead) toenail

Will forever be our tale

If only you knew

I could watch all day

your daily snap stories

of the K-dramas you made;

remain as faint memories.

If only you knew

That our sadness is actually happiness,

You left with a grand plan

to become a fine man.

Now do what you do

and return so I can say,

“I love you”
