They say that Black is not a color,           it is the absence of. Cold is not a foe of heat,           it is the absence of. Just like when I say           Tu me manques —           You are absent from me.

Absence
They say that Black is not a color,           it is the absence of. Cold is not a foe of heat,           it is the absence of. Just like when I say           Tu me manques —           You are absent from me.
"Tu me manques," in French, means I miss you; in literal translation, though, it means "you are missing from me."
