I think of him all </i></b><b><i>the time, and he thinks of me not a</i></b><b><i>t all. I love him, and my love </i></b><b><i>torments me. There are times </i></b><b><i>when I feel like a ghost beside him; </i></b><b><i>as if he alone is real, and I'm just </i></b><b><i>a daydream.'<br></i></b><br>This is the story of two brothers.
