i never got to meet one of my grandpas, my dad's dad.
he died a year before i was born
i wish i could have met him
every time i think of him
i think of a love song he wrote for my grandma
i can still hear him singing even now
the recording my grandma showed me on repeat in my head
"The Stars Up Above"
that's what it is called
i only listened to it once
but i remember it word for word
my dad plays it on the guitar sometimes
and it brings tears to my eyes
can you even miss something you've never had?
i think so
because i miss him so much
my heart aches
and tears flow out of my eyes
longing for that relationship with him i never had
the stories i hear about him are great
and i know i would have loved him

For a cough,
Breathe in the Sea air.
For a headache,
Breathe in the Ocean.
For life,
Breathe in Oxygen.
