Floating On Ice

Morning

I wake up again, and my first thought is:

“How are you doing today?”

So many answers, so many meanings.
To take waking up for granted is such
A privilege.

“Have you eaten yet?”

This is that phrase that Asian parents 
Like to ask kids. 
I just answer honestly.

“Are you getting enough sleep?”

Well, yesterday I got a total of 10
Hours of sleep, including my nap, but–
Still so tired. 
Something’s wrong.

“Do you miss me?”

It’s okay if you don’t. Our
Relationship is weird enough.
It’s okay. 

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

Probably not, yeah? But I’m always here.
I’ll be waiting and trying to find a way
To see you again.

I’m here.
