addictive behaviour

why is it that when you meet a new person, you feel like an addict? you can't get enough of them. you want to see them all the time. you would rather talk or see them than just about anything in the world. and when that new person can't/doesn't want to see you, it's heart-breaking. you feel like an obsessed freak. it's so fucking hard.

i hadn't thought about it this way until the new person in my life was talking to a friend of mine on sunday night. it is like an addiction. i'm kinda glad i can't see her as much as i'd like because i'm sure i'd smother her like i've done with others. but damn, do i want to see her & kiss her & make love to her again.
