Hunger for love

        Hunger for love is not a circumstance that gluttony can satisfy. And it is not like the lost and starving guy coming out of the desert after a long time wandering in it. Hunger for love doesn’t hurt stomachs as if we have sticks inside of us. Hunger for love is unforgettable when we are absorbing a glass of wine as long as we are waiting for a date. It is there, and won’t simply disappear.
        Hunger for love starts when we touch unknown hands, and nothing can satisfy our wishes. Hunger for love is satisfied when hands touch each other. When a couple exchange glances and a lot of hugs. And, even so, this starvation doesn’t seem like it is going away. It’s like a disease that we wish for, and we want it to stay and to experience it more times. Who knows does it last forever and ever?
         Hunger for love comes out of nowhere and comes out suddenly, and we don’t understand anything about it. Then it causes us dizziness. When we are starving for love we cannot stop our thoughts, and we think of another person who is able to give us a special food to end it. It can be something that we have never tried but we know its taste, and our hearts need it so much.
        There are people who experienced this starvation, and others pretended that they had never wished for it. Some of them scorned it but they were jealous of people who enjoyed it.
        This starvation is like a lost glance to the naught. As a tripper wandering without north and he has only memories of a place where his starvation ended or he could satisfy it.
        Hunger for love is an anguish that dries our mouths and we are jealous, and we don’t know if it is closer to us or it is far away from us. 
       When our hunger for love is over we feel a void inside us. We will feel relief if we don’t feel it or if we are not able to look for love to satisfy us.                When a couple experiences it, they can enjoy a different place and company, where this is mutual. But if one of the lovers stays alone his life is similar to a salty taste in the mouth, and this hunger for love becomes torture.
       In this case, hunger for love is disease or abstinence, like a drug addict who is always looking for more drugs, maybe the same or a different one. But, in general, it is the same thing: we need to feel it and a sweet and fragrant body gets closer to us to satisfy it. And then, we start again wandering through the same desert that we have just experienced before.
       A lot of people criticize others who are sick because of it. They scorn others as if they are naive and don’t have feelings at this important moment in their lives. For others, it’s like games managed by kids, when they throw tantrums or their toys are taken.
      But, in reality, people are jealous of others who have focused on satisfying their desires, while some of them are cowards, and they have never understood what is this kind of hunger. And this starvation doesn’t hurt us. It’s only people trying to participate in the love party.
