The vision of your face

The vision
of your face
stimulates my hippocampus,
causing recall of past experiences,
stimulating my reward center
producing a sense of well being.
It stimulates my sympathetic system,
releasing epinephrine
and cytokines,
producing asystolies and extra systolies,
giving me skipped beats
with cold clammy skin,
dilated pupils, and
euphoria.
I mean
I miss you.
