Brotherhood is hard. When it is not rosey, how many keep on as brothers still? So, brotherhood isn't all that brotherhood till it is proven and same applies to love, for it to really be called "love".
It is not about labels either. "You have to be this or that before i can really love you". Then i won't be this or that for you but that's me.
Those are great words, i am really feeling good with it, love should be unconditional to make feel real.
