Absence Poem by Mihaela Pirjol
Absence
To know you exist:
It is motive for my existence.
To hear a sign, a song from you,
Every morning, as soon as I wake up:
It is a motive to carry on living the day,
With what may come—I can endure.
Your song rises with the sunrise—so I rise
And smile, and I cry for a while, and I smile again;
For I am alive—we are both alive.
Most of the time, it suffices…
Do I not live through you?
Are you not all my thoughts, my feelings,
My emotions?
For if you were constantly with me,
I would have lost myself completely in you,
And I could have not distinguish it from yourself;
Thus in absence, we have the chance
To know the other half, without immersing
In the amalgam of us two:
Thus, we keep a part of ourselves
For ourselves.
To love so much is to lose oneself in your loved one like a merging of identities into one, it is beautiful but frightening! Absence gives you space to find yourself and to still love your loved one with a greater zest and openness to embrace life together! Beautiful write!

If absence compliments love and affection and also promotes individuality which in turn converges, I would say that would be the icing on the cake. A beautiful write that set me thinking.
