Addiction

I say addiction. You say fight it. Addiction can be conquered.

However strong your addiction is, somehow, humans have the will power to fight it.

Drugs?

Quit them.

Alcohol?

Give it up.

Pornography?

Get over it.

Yes, it does seem that addiction can be countered. Addictions. They take control of your life for some time, weeks, days, years. Yet, you can fight it. Resist it. Challenge it and get your life back on track.

But what if your form of addiction is a person? A living breathing human? Can you fight it then? Can you conquer it?

As long as that person takes up space in the most vital organ of your body, the heart, that person is an addiction. Maybe even a life time addiction.

What do you do when the way he says your name is an addiction? What do you do when his smile acts faster than marijuana, to affect your brain?

Why is that even the touch of his hand is an addiction? The way he looks at you, the turn of his head, his sparkling eyes, his hold on your hand...

When they are all addictions, what do you do?

Could you fight it?

Could you deny that longing in your body?

Can you ignore his intoxicating smell?

Can you shield yourself

from the rush of adrenaline in

your system when he kisses you?

Could you confront the feeling of addictive bliss when his mouth is moving against yours?

Is it possible

to be immune to the immeasurable pleasure he gives you when he kisses your neck? Tell me, can you fight it?

What do you do when the object of your addiction is a person? Can you get over it? Where in the world do you find rehab for addiction to a person? How can you love him with all your heart and never feel like you love him enough? How is it that you will ward off the serene calm he gives you when he's around?

How can you resist it?

How could stop your addiction, not indulge in it when he loves you more than anything? You tell me, can you stop it?

I say addiction. Do you still say fight it?
