Great descriptive words. The 'agonizing itch left unscratched' is the perfect description of longing.

These arrows went straight to my heart. Their meaning rang the bell. We live sometimes in constant want with no one there to tell. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the holiday season and a very happy New Year Arlene. Peace. :)
