You know

You know
you've got his heart
when you are not around
and he asks for you

You know
you've got his attention
when you raise your hand
and he raises his

You know
you've been missed
when you arrive
and he runs and hugs you tight
even when he is sticky and wet

You know
you've got his respect
when you say No!
and he listens and doesnt question why
or why not?

You know
you've got it made
when you appear
and he goes around telling everyone "that's my cousin, you know"

You know

you've made him laugh

when you go around telling everyone

"that's my little cousin, you know"

You know
you've hurt him
when you scold
and he looks at you with tears

You know

you've been given permission

when you ask whether you can walk him to his dorm

and he says yes

You know
he's got a friend in you
when you listen
and he tells you his little secrets

You know
he trusts you
when you hold his hand
and he lets you hold his

You know
he has learn much
when you ask him to tell you what he has learnt
and he talks non-stop

You know
you're wanted
when he ask if you are staying over
and you say "no"
and he says "why not?"
and you say "cos i have to work the next day"
and he says "then can i stay over at your house so i can follow you to work tmr"

You know
you've been loved
when he tells you "good nite"
and hugs you
and ask " are you coming tmr?"
and says "good i get to see you again"
and hugs you again
and smiles...
