I want you. I’ve always wanted you and I never want to stop wanting you.

What do any of us know at any age?

Riding on buses, boats, bikes, taxis and underground trains, talking on phones, hustling for deals, queuing for coffee. This world is moving on while I sit here feeling like I’ve swallowed a great big jagged rock.
