Your absence <br />never hurts me <br /> <br />but <br />rather(curiously) <br /> <br />fills me up with <br />the presence of you <br /> <br />(the essence of you) <br /> <br />so that I overflow with <br /> <br />the very <br />Being of you <br /> <br />but of course <br />I long <br /> <br />for the real <br />life <br /> <br />flesh & blood <br /> <br /> <br />your kiss <br />your hug <br /> <br /> <br />your love.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-absence-never-hurts-me-for-janice/
