PRESENCE AND ABSENCE

I already met the absence

I saw it close, I mean, I didn’t see because he was absent

I saw people living together, couples, married only in paper, but distant, like absents

I saw also distant parents, even though alive, as if they were dead, absents

I still saw distant people, present, loving a lot, even though, distant, but never absents

Melodious symphonies of life, separated for the distance, only physical, even though present

I still see me figuring out the absents who are present and the present who are absent

Forgiven to absent who didn’t have the option to be present

Forgiven also the absent that, being close, kept himself absent

I stay with the present who, despite being distant, know the value of the presence and make of love their biggest conquer.
