Can you stand it

I want you as a brother
Can you bear to stand it
I want you for my answers
Truth free of lover's thrift

Can this thing be done
Can we fool boredom's fake lust
Are you considering my offer
Or just leaving moments to rust

I want you as a brother
Lended strength without request
I want you at ten pm
My head unbound on shoulder, on chest

Ya we locked eyes once
Sweet, subtle and swift
You didn't see what you thought hon
That wasn't a mistress's gift

I want you as a brother
Much older, taller, stronger
I want you not as ever had before
But for an eternity longer
