Has it ever happened that you felt a craving for a person and their presence?
I don’t know what this craving is.
I also don’t know whether craving is just something that can be satisfied by a need or whether it can actually drive you crazy.
Until now, I’ve only felt a craving that I felt for something.
But what I felt today is something far strange. I’ve never felt a craving so intense that I craved a person I’d only met once.
It’s strange.
And I don’t know about that.
I felt like holding that person close to me.
I felt like kissing that person.
I felt like talking to that person.
I felt like holding his breath inside me.
And never let him go again.
Perhaps this is what a person craves.
His breath, his words, his feeling for you — all this is just for you. And we don’t even know what that person feels.
That man’s longing for me was just that.
I didn’t know if I would ever meet him again. But I did know that at that time, only that man would be able to satisfy my longing.
It was my first realization that a single meeting could give so much. I didn’t know that such a thing could happen. But it happened, it happened to me for the first time.
Can that man’s longing ever happens again?
I don’t know.
Maybe I’ll forget him in a few years, or maybe I’ll remember him until my last breath.
I don’t know, I just know that he’s with me today and will always be if I choose to.
That one momentary meeting with him shattered everything, but it also brought that one feeling back to life.
I’ve been left incomplete.
Maybe I’ll never be complete again.
But I don’t regret not having lived that feeling.
That feeling is enough for me now.
That feeling I will never forget…
Until then, Happy Writing
