the opposite of missing is being
the opposite of singing is pain
the opposite of hearing is seeing
the opposite of barren is rain

the opposite of evil is laughter
the opposite of hugging is scars
the opposite of hopeful is after
the opposite of darkness is stars

the opposite of us must be
the you-shaped hole that’s left in me
