I saw a couple walking beside me. They were not talking much but those smiling faces vouched for their happiness of being together. I was there too, walking with someone; feeling happy in someone’s presence. She was a friend, just a good friend, but her existence always made me feel lively. She isn’t a part of my life anymore; she just drifted away leaving me wondering why do I miss her so much even though she was just a friend; even though I have many friends around who love me too.
May be, because, being loved is an addiction!
Ever wondered why you feel that hollow space in your heart when your phone doesn’t ring like the other days, when the name that appeared on the screen consistently for months doesn’t pop up. The void you feel when a voice that was always in your ears calling out your name innumerable times seems lost in the silent noise. You get restless; you freak out thinking why you are not shown that love. That person might be your friend, alright, but why does that chill passes through your spine when that air of missing hugs you. Ever wondered what is it exactly that you are missing – that person or the feeling of being with them? The way they make you feel or their very existence makes you feel happy?
To be honest, we are all selfish beings. It’s only the way they make us feel, the feeling of being with that person is what matters to us. We are all suckers for love! Let’s not deny that. We want love, we want to be loved. It is the most dangerous addiction – being loved is the most painful addiction. It might feel good as long as you have the source for it, but when it runs out and when you start to feel it drying up, it is then that it shows its vexing side. And yes, it hurts way too bad.
When you see your friend moving away, when you realize that you both are drifting apart you sense a hard blow on your chest that you can’t explain. You try to hold on to that person, giving one more chance to your relationship. That is when you sense how deep you have sunk in that addiction. And you realize there’s no way out...!!
