Like the hunger of the universe,
I hunger for your love.
Like animals that hunger for survival,
I hunger for your touch.
Like the flowers that hunger for rain and light,
I hunger to have you just one more night.
As the universe relies on the circle of life,
I rely on the memories I hold.
It is the ebb and flow of what life holds,
But no one never really knows.
I will hunger for you always,
Until the end of time.
You have connected with me,
I can't seem to let go.
You touched me,
You still remain.
Your scent lingers upon my skin.
Now that you are gone,
My hunger still remains.
