We all know it. The Longing.
The unscratchable itch.
That neverending, nagging feeling in our guts.
The armies of ants crawling through our arms.
That dark, demonic voice in the back of our heads.

Be it for chocolate, coffee, competition or cigarettes (or nicorettes) or a nice dress, for alcohol, attention, analgetics or after-eights, for hash or heroin, hairstyle changes or heated conversations, for long walks on the beach and less stress in retreats, for Molly, Melanie or Mary Jane, for working more, working out, or really: working it! out, for watching porn, partying harder, poodle petting or people pleasing, recreational cruising or rectal teasing, for spice (melaaaange), sexy scenes or sugar odysseys, total control or tragic tears, for youth and for zen things, for new beginnings and happy endings.

It comes knocking.
Ticking, telling us what time it is.
«It's business time, baby!
You thought I was gone? Well hot damn, here I am! Again! (Baby!)
No way you'd get rid of me that easily.
I was there when you were born, raised and sent into the world.
I'm there when you get up, go to work, eat lunch, when you have a good time with family and friends.
Waiting, lurking in the background. To catch you unaware.
I'll be the last thing you'll hear before you go to sleep.
The first thing you'll wake up to in the morning.
I'll shower you with sorrow until you drown in depression, only to jolt you back to life in the middle of the night.
To tell you that I'm back. Oh yes, baby, I am back!
Here to stay. Forever.
I will dance on your bones long after you are gone.»

And maybe, one time, when we find what we are looking for, there will be - for a brief moment - a calmness.
Heavenly bliss.
But oooh nooo, The Longing is not gone yet. It still has a bit of energy left.

So we take another hit, another sip, another trip, watch another flick, perform a hotter trick, suck a brothers dick, fuck another chick, chuck some other shit.
Mark that task completed with a tick.

There will come a time when the airplane finally takes off, after a long, hard run on the asphalt.
We're cruising.
We've got this, baby!

«Boom! Back on the ground, baby! Missed me?»
There it is again.
The chase, the dance,
the duel, the fuel,
the fancy, the grand scheme,
the gruesome illusion,
the infinite loop, the mood,
The Longing.
