When I'm Not There

When I'm Not There
------------------

I wonder if you think of me when I'm not there
Or do you pretend that I don't exist
Do I live on in your heart
Or out of sight out of mind am I
Am I loved for all that I am
Or do you curse when I wander my own way

If you were to reach a hand to me
And were to take back only air
Would you even notice the difference
Do you think that you would even care
If you were thinking about your desires
Would you even notice if I wasn't there

Have you gotten so accustomed to my presence
That you would never notice if I were gone
Would it bother you if I leave
Would it really not matter to you
If I were no longer by your side
Is it really true you would be just fine
If I walked away in despair

Tell me true
Do I even exist to you when I'm not there?
