When we are infants
We have no concept of object permanence
When something leaves our sight it's gone from our worlds
It ceases to exist in our minds
Over time we learn that this, of course, is not the case
It's a sign of development
It means that we're becoming functional humans
I can't help but wonder
If the idea of you left my mind when you left my life
If I wouldn't be a more functional human than I am now
