Have you ever wanted someone so badly that you actually feel a sensation akin to a warm nervous tremor in your stomach every time you see or think about that person?
I hope you have.
I hope it was...for your sake, for I doubt there is anything more gut-wrenching and frustrating than wanting someone who doesn't feel the same way about you.
It is a hunger that can not be sated.
Strange how medical science, despite its numerous achievements and advances over the last century, is still incapable of providing explanations to feelings and emotions such as love, longing, desire and attraction.
I believe that eventually science will be able to explain such emotions, and possibly even find a cure for what is commonly referred to as matters of the heart. Matters of the mind would be a more appropriate description. Sadly, such a breakthrough is not likely happen soon.
I see your name everywhere, everyday, in a nondescript name tag and in the lines of my poem...
" Bring forth the end of your eternal absence and
Embellish my existence with your sparkling presence
Light up the darkness of my Autumn days
Light up the flickering embers in my hearth
And allow my boundless affection safe passage into your heart"
JP
