Absence

"Absence makes the love grow" Absence grows love? grows love?? Okay but what is what is absence? Fair enough But surely, if In love will grow Does that mean that The lover loves the lovee more when the lovee is not in e eyeshot and earshot and noseshot and mouthshot and even tongueshot? Surely not but hmmm ...then what? Perhaps the statement's truth lies in the fact that Pain brought about by wanting to be even a foot closer to her hear her gentle chuckle be....there Seems sweeter than the pain of her being in my life Clearly making me sadistic but I know that this "sad" will not "stic" around forever Like a donkey being led on with a apple as time goes by , Your desperate desperate desire to indulge in it's sweetness only seems to grow However I desire not only the sweetness of the apple , I too don't mind experiencing the Bitterness Hardness Sourness I REALLY DONT CARE. I JUST NEED MY APPLE. So perhaps I should allow to do its thing Guess my mind will continue to ironically...spiral mindlessly Guess my fingers will have to wait for the day I see them to get shake uncontrollably Guess my arms will continue to not be 'arm'ed with her warm embrace Guess my smile will have to wait to conquer my face , even when her presence ismiles away Guess my lips will remain dry, not being moistened by hers And that's okay. Because the of marks the end of the in my heart. But theres only one way to find out, Right?
