Absence
Does absence make the heart grow fonder
Or does it cause the heart to wander?
Absence plays tricks on the heart
When from your lover you're apart
Are her thoughts of me like mine of her
Or has her love begun to dim
Do questions, fears, and doubts arise
Or does confident love shine in our eyes
Are my feelings for her ebbing away
Or do they grow stronger with every day
Do united hearts still beat strong
Or does the rhythm seem all wrong
Does out of sight mean out of mind
Or in my dreams do you I find
Do your words of love echo still
Or are my thoughts with silence filled
When time and distance pull us apart
Is your presence ever in my heart
The strength and depth is what decides
If through the absence love abides
A love that isn't meant to be
When absence comes is apt to flee
A love that's written in the stars
Will endure though near or far
