Can Absence Rekindle My Flame

It's a puzzle with one missing piece, it won't let me complete this game; sweetness is not found in a Reese candy bar, it's such an urge to tame! I resist each and every temptation for a day or two without a caress, and looking at happy lovers kiss... I get emotional and cry in pain! Can absence rekindle my flame? I throw pebbles in the blue lake, making another wish for my sake; why do roses smell all the same? Can absence rekindle my flame, can it undo what I really became... if it vanished to feed my vanity? A pretty girl stares at me and smiles, it's a whiff of scented wind that promises little or nothing that leads to certainty! I stand still and not smile, could it be real or a mere delusion? Should I resent the intrusion? Oh, her smile stretches for a mile! oh, it charms, it delight me; I doubt that it deceives me! Can absence rekindle my flame, restart the passion long lost to time? No desire is greater than mine: I've put to rest sadness and blame!
