Every Trick

I have tried every
trick in the book, and
yet I still cannot get you out of my
mind. I cannot stop this wave
of emotion that sweeps over me whenever your
name or face pops into my head.
My friends don’t get it,
you probably don’t get it,
heck, I cannot even begin to fathom its
true meaning.
The hot bubbling feeling that starts near your stomach
and rises quickly to your heart,
you know
the one... the one you get when you
see a relative you have not seen for a long time, or when you
think of a lost pet.
That brief feeling of pure ecstasy that gets swept over by a wave of sadness and distress.
That is what I feel, always.
That is my emotional state.
