Wanting and needing...
There is a difference between the two.
There was a time I knew what is was that I truly wanted. And then there is that which one needs.

The odyssey of life...
A constant ache.
Knowing what you want.
Almost getting it.
And then watching as it slips through your fingertips...
Lost.
Forever.
While you scream in silent anguish.
Devastated.
Bitter.
Helpless.
Lost.
At first...
And then,
You salve it over with time.
Layer by layer,
Meticulous.
Persistent.
Constant.
And then,
Slowly as the numbness begins to set in...
You are still.
For awhile...
In limbo.
Not wanting.
Not caring.
Not needing.
Until...
You become so good at it,
That you forget
What it is...
You forget.
What you need.
What you want.
What you care about.
If it came back now.
You would not care.
You would not need it.
You would not want it.
Because,
The moment is past.
The time is lost.
You are gone.
To a place,
Even you
Have forgotten how to return from.
