absence
Silence is simply the absence of sound, Darkness the absence of light  My life is made up of silence and darkness, Since the absence of you from my sight  We became birds of a different feather, Encountering storms we could neither one weather   l defy anyone to define me away, My heart can't go on this-a-way  Nearness is simply the absence of absence, Wrong is the absence of right  My life is made up of the absence of nearness, Since the absence of you from my sight  We became birds of a different feather, Encountering storms we could neither one weather   l defy anyone to define me away, My heart can't go on this-a-way
