two thousand ten A.D.
you stand and watch from three years behind,
three years that often feel like thirty,
and at other times, point zero three.
from your vantage point,
it's hard not to compare yourself.
will you be as good as him at _____?
how will people see you in relation?
will you ever be as organized,
suave,
stylish,
or cool, calm, and collected?
the resounding "no" fades, thankfully,
as things change in the light of young adulthood kicking into full form.
what lies ahead
are more good times to be had,
the continued joy of having someone older and wiser [but not by too much],
and more hallobirthdays.

Happy 25th!
