When you finally have something you've longed for since forever, you get complacent. And if you're ever aware of that feeling in itself, you know it isn't a good thing. To be ever satisfied is to die. And that's why I think this unwavering desire for whatever... It's so worth it, especially when what you want is to close and so far away at the same time. This extreme want, it drives you to the brink of insanity... It warps your reality and makes you focus on one thing and one thing only, for your entire being is consumed in this one thought. It's almost right in a sense, to have the world perceived in no other way. It is right, in fact, because that's all you see. All They see is the fire in your eyes, the undying spirit to do something, to have something, to cherish and know that it's yours... Somewhere, you secretly hope to never see the day where you're satisfied. That's the day the desire fades and your being is reduced to nothing. So here's to knowing what you want, what you love, and what you don't have...
There are some things in this world that for every day beforehand, I wished I could have. And now that I have it or am with it, I try to humble myself and want more, for it would be the only way I know how to properly respect it. You deserve my love and attention, and I don't want that to die.
