Saturday morning wasn’t the same without you,

I still woke up early and watched our cartoons,

but you weren’t there to make us breakfast.

A year passed and I didn’t hear from you, I only saw

you one week in the summer, after that you never

called.

Another year, then another and finally your graduation,

You were home

Although, it’s like you were a new person, a stranger

In my brother’s shoes, I feel like I lost you

Now not a word is spoken on Saturday mornings, but we

Both get up and watch cartoons like nothing has changed.
