I find that some people would rather give their heart to food, than a live person.

Nourishing Love You are a palette of complementing colors. Your many forms excite my senses. As I gaze upon you, I tear up. You are mine, although I know it won’t last. I am offended by intrusions. They lessen our time together. Still, it is the cost of being with you. You begin to diminish, and love fills me. I am grateful for that. Our intimacy will carry me to the end. I can assure you we will have a re-encounter. And I am grateful you satisfy me so. I am a person in need of stimulus. But it must not be constantly strong. You assail my senses like a symphony. Causing them to rise and fall. I get no warning and it makes me tingle. I am captivated by your effect on me. You touch my lips, and my heart flutters. Soon you are gone. I must leave to regain a need for you. You have been a meal I will not forget
