Two Years

It is like hunger
After days without food
The crave is similar
Except no physical pain

It is like thirst
In a hot dry day
After running a long time
Your body needs water
The crave is similar
Except your mouth isn’t dry

It is like addiction
You have to have more
Your body needs the high
The crave is similar
Except there’s no addiction

This hunger, thirst, and addiction
Rises above physical appetites
For it is a craving from the soul

It’s been two years.
