All in the blink of an eye, you were gone,
leaving me speechless, confused,
wanting another glimpse of you.
I long to see your perfect imperfections
...
You came to me, in confidence,

Sure! How about 'If you're looking for Amanda, you may notice she's not currently at her desk. She is searching for her mind, which is probably lost somewhere in a sea of e-mails, documents, and spreadsheet columns.

I owe my every effort to
Her love, everlasting and true.
In her silence, I am able to speak
and see all things beautiful.
...
I hide my eyes
because I don't want you
to see the endless longing in them.
Smiles cover up my fears

Relationships between negative and positive,
between shapes and colors and sizes.
