I loved you more in your absence.
For in your absence you are powerless

Your words don't hurt, your action aren't real
You are not here so I can decide how to feel.

In your absence I fabricated the person you are to me.
The person I wish you could be.

I made myself special to you.
Treasured and loved, someone of value

You weren't here to say otherwise
You weren't here to belittle my guise

I built an image that fit my ideal you
You weren't here to say it isn't true.

You made it clear I wasn't in you're field of vision
Broke down all part of my illusion

You weren't unmistaken in showing I was just another person you know.
Filtering the parts of you, you show.

The closer I try to get the more it burn
But when love is the teacher you never learn

Learn that the one you love most
Who has you wholly engrossed.

Has to have feelings for you, they can't be forced.

Is also the one who hurts you deepest and leaves you in a shambled mess

Yet you put yourself through the pain,
even though you are aware only you can love you best.
