I Am The Sun

I have gone through life and

Understood one thing.

The absence of something

Can often carry way more meaning

Then the presence of something else.

For instance, the absence of sun

On your presence.

Can mean much more than

The presence of a windowpane

To let the light in.

And just like the sun

I've learned that the absence of certain people

Can mean much more than the presence of so many others

And see their absence in the distant eyes that look back at them

Even if for a brief moment.

And it breaks my heart to know.
