Keep holding my hand

When the one heart stops beating
the other heart will beat for two

My dear brother
your heart is amongst friends
and always will be

We were coming from a distant land
that has been following us with 
distant memories
walking with us 
through the shadows of the decades

And now I am standing here
remembering you

Forever I will be
holding your hand
'cause you' re my brother
in the midst of this gigantic town
together we have build rocks
that were only for us to see
and we did it while walking on sand
holding on to each other
so please comfort me
while my tears for you
build us a crown
a crown of love

Our distant memories
will follow me
and forever you will be
holding my hand
when we first came here
we thought there would be hell to pay
but instead we would sit
far away from the distant land
where our love for each other would play
a song while we were making ourselves at home
building our selves a life
building love as strong as rocks
though sometimes walking on sand

So please keep holding my hand
my dear beloved brother
and I will hold on to you
I will keep loving you 
and I will never let go

I feel this poem describes a relationship with such a strong bond. The use of 'brother' makes me wonder if in fact it is familial love the protagonist is speaking about, rather than cultural - which I formed the impression of at my first reading. A heartfelt rendering. Blessings, Allen
