Sometimes when one person is missing , the whole world can seem depopulated.
Algunas veces cuándo una persona que se falta, el todo mundo puede aparecer despobladas.

A ver qué tal:
"Algunas veces, cuando alguien falta, el resto del mundo puede parecernos despoblado"
"A veces, cuando alguien nos falta, podemos encontrar el resto del mundo vacío"
"En ocasiones, cuando perdemos a alguien, el mundo entero puede parecernos desierto"

'aparece', for starters ;-) - mcl020, Mar 15, 2012
