my brother

The other day, I listened a folk song from Erkan Ogur. The name of the song is Zeynebim and it is a well-known and beloved folk song undoubtedly. It had been a long time that I have not listen it. It is actually a great love song and I think if you listen it, you doubtlessly can be regarded in love or were in love before and still remember your beloved. That is why you still listen it as for me…But it is never remind me someone I love or loved before... I remember my brother when I every time listen it. Because, I had heard that song from my brother for the first time. Not just this song, there are some other songs such as ‘kara tren’ by ozhan eren, aysem from orhan gencebay as well. He was always listening these songs when we stayed in the same room. So I still listen these song with a great pleasure.
Erkan Ogur= Zeynebim

When I was five, my brother enrolled a public boarding school and studied there until graduated from middle-school. And he got back to home only one time for a month and stayed only two days with us. I always missed him so much. I didn’t have chance to play with my brother. I have never played football with him…but to tell the truth, he also liked football so much just as I did. I still remember when he returned to home for a weekend, he has always talked about the match which he played with his schoolmates at the school. And I still remember, I once entered his room and saw him when he was trying to listen something in the radio. I asked him
-‘what are you doing here’ and ‘what is the program you are listening?’… and he said;
-‘come to join me, this is the football match, my team’s match. Besiktas. Do you want to listen with me?’ He asked me. He watched it with a huge enthusiasm in so much that I couldn’t able to desist myself from joining. Today I support Besiktas football club just because of my brother. He liked it and that was the reason I like too. I admired my brother and I like almost everything he likes. My brother is unique for me. I love him so much.. And I think the reason was the distance between us. He was away from home and I missed him so much and accepted what he had. But I don’t complaint of course, because I have never seen a bad side of my brother. He taught me to ride the bike, he told me the importance of the books and gave me the first novel I read, he took me to swimming all the setting my mom’s face against it and many other activities like that.
Now we are still away from each other unfortunately. It seems that we got used to be far away.  But anyway, we have dreams that we want to realize.
We have never been two friends. We are always two brothers. And we always respect each other. He trusts me so much, so do I too. He has been married for years and has two children. I love my nephew and niece so much same as I love my brother. I pray for my brother to has a great life and family for a lifetime..My brother deserve everything good in the world. I am lucky to have a brother lihe him. In a word, I love my brother and the things he loves. And I miss him so much.
