1. What do you need right now?
My skin is craving some type of touch- something, anything.
Almost anything.
But "almost" means next to nothing in this situations because my feelings are itching and scratching at a glass door, patiently waiting to be released, for a lock to be broken. They're more desperate than any physicality I could possibly want.
My sights are set so high, so unreachable, like trying to grasp the moon simply by sitting on a rooftop; just because you could see something you want, doesn't mean you can ever have it.
I'm ravenous for desires completely untouchable, a constant wanting, wanting, wanting for an opportunity.
They come and go, they always do, surely I should be accustomed to it by now, right? You'd think so. I've been loved and left so often I've learned to appreciate the beauty of feelings in the moment, in the present- not the past, not the future, both of those concepts are too intangible themselves. There are no use feelings things in the past-tense, there's no use planning to feel them in the future, either.
The past will never be again, no two feelings the same, like the sunset's constant changes day-to-day, no two skies identical.
Some things just can't be replicated and feelings happen to fall into that category.
The future isn't concrete, there's a plan out there but the plan doesn't always follow the schedule we call ideal. We could hope and wait and want so badly, but sometimes there's no future at all. It isn't a guarantee for everyone, and few are fortunate enough to live long enough for the future destined.
This is why we have to embrace everything as it comes, as it happens. The present may be all we have, here and now, that's all there is to life and that's the secret to living.
What I'm trying to say is- I need a lot right now, I want a lot right now. It fluctuates daily, sometimes ranging from something as simplistic as a warm hug on a dark day, other times it's a bit more complex and it's a feeling of unfulfillment that I can't exactly pinpoint or fill by myself.
I need a lot and I want a lot and that's the human nature of feeling everything so deeply and the curse of always counting on a feeling, regardless of how abstract it is.
Sometimes feelings are all we have and all we need when there's nothing else.
Right now I need something, simply because there is nothing else.
