Why are we like this?
Our familiarity has vanished
Withering without commitment
Return to me, remember us
Absence changes perception
These weeds of doubt have spread
We’re now cold to each other’s touch
A false couple being advertised
Disconnect this heart
Refuse my humanity
Leftover pains of passion arise
Always wounded without weapons
Word gets out, time to define
The press conference for us begins
A dinner for two that everyone attended
Curiosity devours their compassion
Our straps unbuckled, the ride is over
Two strangers get off, separate exits for us both
A breathless love that finally suffocated
We are one no more
I agree Abscence does change perceptions

I’m not one to compliment my stuff. (In fact, all I do is criticize it) But, I do love that line.
