And then to want and not to have- to want and want- how that wrung the heart, and wrung it again and again! “To want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain. “Because what’s worse than knowing you want something, besides knowing you can never have it?” “I know this sounds crazy to say after one encounter but I kind of fell for you pretty hard and it has been forever since I’ve connected to anyone like this and my heart is kind of broken in a million pieces.” We transition or swing between inexplicable hope and forlorn depair.
