Suddenly, out of nowhere, the craving hit me like a ton of bricks. It came out of nowhere and took me completely by surprise. The craving sneaked up on me and filled my every pore with an intense need.

I Ionged. I ached. I yearned.

I was engulfed with loneliness.

I longed for the sweetness to touch my lips.

And linger for a moment or an eternity until tiny explosions rocked my every cell.

I wanted the softness. And the hardness.

I wanted to consume and be consumed.

I was lost in a sea of despair.

I could not breathe.
