Is it my imagination?
Is it hormones?
Is it the rise and fall of the moon, the sun?

The spin the spun
the revolutions, the runs

of the planets, the stars
or is it something nearer
something less, maybe,
something, not so far?

Psychic connections
the spirit, the chemistry
of the blood, and heart?

How in the morning one feels down
depressed, forgotten
more lost
than found

and in the day,
perhaps how information is passed
out of earshot, out of sight by something
someone, had to say.

Information, conclusions, feelings, never conveyed
at least not in any normal, convenient,
direct, kind of, sort of, way

and the heart feels loved again
feels full again
from someone far away

and then the sadness settles
as that someone's longing
in your absence
starts to pervade

Ah, it is 'Radar Love', and aptly put!

You may wish to edit and relocate the partial phrase "the runs", though, just because that reference might not be intentional.
