My Sweet Addiction
That feeling when a certain someone is all you can think about
You’ve moved into my brain like a positive addiction.
I crave you like sugar but need you like air.
You stimulate my thoughts and stir my dreams.
You rescue me and torture me all hours of the day.
I’m never not thinking of you.
A desire I can’t shake.
Nor do I wish to.
I’m riding the high of your attention.
Always seeking your affection.
My heart grows when I’m with you.
And shrinks when I’m without.
I can’t sleep or think without you.
You’re the first and last thing on my mind.
You’ve taken over my life.
And changed me like I never thought possible.
You found the smile of my inner child.
Silenced the demons of my mind.
Freed me from expectations.
Now, all I want from life is you.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Because you are my sweet addiction.

The Way We Ended is How We Began
It didn't feel like a break-up but rather a "see you later" further down the road. It was not the right time for us. Love is not a gold rush. It's a diamond in the rough. It can take time to free us from the weight that we carry. And we were weighed down. Stuck in our rocks. Embedded in history. The dust of our past clouding our shine. But we'll get there. In time, we'll uncover one another. Free ourselves from the burden and gift our love to each other. Because together we're a pair. A complimentary set.

What better addiction can there be, especially when it's reciprocated.
