When she walks out the door

How do you fill in the hours?
When she walks out the door?
When darkness comes to stay?
How do you even the score?
Get on with your life...
Keep on moving: do not be still
For peace comes in "doing"
Rather than in mere thinking
Push aside those dark shadows
Allow the sunshine to enter in
All through your long life
This is how it has been...
Someone stays for a little while
Makes you think love has come
Then leaves: taking your smiles
You get used to being there alone
Solitude denies the other's existence...

Absence may make the heart
Grow fonder: that is true
But distance is a killer and
There is nothing you can do
