I woke up this morning crying for people I do not know
And I didn’t have to relate them to my Uncle or Aunt or Mother or Brother.
I woke up this morning and I missed their luminous smile.
I missed the way their lungs filled with oxygen and released carbon dioxide.
I missed the way heat radiated off their body.
the way the blood pumped through their veins.
the way their pupils dilated at the sight of a loved one.
I missed the way their voice chimed in the open air.
