THE GAP

Almost everyday you meet new people and you like some, you don't like some. What about the people you love? What happens when they leave?

You either continue your life with the memories or you try to find a substitute who is just like them. People who either look like them or have the same personality as them. This is like filling in a gap. Singers write songs about people they love and how this gap within them is a huge issue and how it is heartbreaking.

But can that gap really be filled? Can this new substitute fulfill the spot? Is there still a small vacuum regardless of the new presence?
Maybe, you just leave the spot empty hoping you bump into them again and they fill in the gaps again. Seems about right, but it rarely happens. Or maybe, you just pull the strings a little closer and tie a knot and pretend the gap never existed.

Different people have different ways of filling in the gap. Maybe you fill in the gap, maybe you don't. But you absolutely can't ignore them.
