Your spirit left your body unexpectedly.
Like blood, death came uninvited.
Excitement was building up when you left your flesh.
Everything was set in the room, the food; smiles were prepared to welcome you home.
We thought that laughter might make you whole.
And I waited, thinking I would ace my math assignment this term.
Because numbers always ran in your veins like blood.
Suddenly
It happened.
A call ordered me to wear a skirt, for it is tradition.
I obliged the order and sank deep into my thoughts.
A part of me was in denial, but reality hit me so hard as an elephant sat in my chest.
February was supposed to be a month of love.
You were supposed to wake up on the 14th with a valentine’s message on your phone.
A kiss from your significant other reassuring you that you are still loved.
Love was supposed to be in the air.
Instead, your life became a vapour and disappeared in that air.
