In the Presence of Absence...

I so often I
drift 'outside the
rainbow's hue

so why would
anyone question
why I'm  feelin' blue


n' If you've ever
wondered...do
I still think
of you...

As sure as
the skin I'm under
better believe it
to be true...

I can recall the
moments of incredulous
intimacy,
so deeply precious
the passion that burned
in you n' me...

Yet,  I also
remember the emptiness
n' painful ache of you
no longer needin' we...

 N not a day
passes by
that you're not
running thru
my mind...

but
it's simply
that I will never
catch you...

that  leaves
me mournful
n F'ever dyin...'
