Love is a curious thing. It has the power to lift us to great heights, but it can also hold us in a grip so tight that we feel as if we cannot breathe without it. For me, this love has become an addiction—a beautiful, consuming addiction to him.

When I first met him, it was as if the world shifted. His smile, his voice, the way he looked at me, it all became the center of my universe. I found myself drawn to him, unable to resist the magnetic pull.

Each moment with him is a treasure. His laughter is like a melody that I can’t get out of my head, playing on repeat, bringing joy to my days. His touch is gentle, yet it leaves a mark on my soul, a reminder of his presence that lingers long after he’s gone.

There are days when I wake up with his name on my lips, nights when I fall asleep thinking of his face. My thoughts are consumed by him, and my heart races at the mere thought of seeing him again. This feeling is more than just love; it’s a need, a craving that I cannot deny.

I know that addiction is a strong word. It suggests dependency, a lack of control. And perhaps that is true. For in his absence, I feel lost, as if a part of me is missing. I yearn for his company, for the way he makes me feel alive.

But isn’t that what love is sometimes? An overwhelming force that takes over our lives, makes us do things we never thought we would? I have given myself over to this feeling, to this addiction, because it brings me happiness, a sense of completeness.

Yet, with every high comes a low. There are moments of doubt, of insecurity. I wonder if he feels the same, if he is as addicted to me as I am to him. These thoughts can be tormenting, casting shadows over the bright light of our love.

In the end, though, I choose to embrace this addiction. Because love, in all its forms, is worth experiencing. It teaches us about ourselves, about what it means to truly care for another person. It shows us our strengths and our vulnerabilities.

So, I continue on this journey, addicted to him. I cherish each smile, each touch, each word. For in this addiction, I have found a love that is deep and true, a love that defines me and gives my life meaning.

To anyone who has ever felt this way, know that you are not alone. Embrace your feelings, let them guide you. Love is a powerful force, and sometimes, it’s okay to let it take over. Because in the end, love is what makes us human, what connects us to one another in the most profound ways.
