Longing

Longing, however, can apply to about anything you desire,where crushing is typically focused on a member of your preferred sex, and (some say) it is at it's heart about the thin to non-existant chance of sex with such person. So some say.

But I'll tell you, I am really longing for a shiny female robot to do my bidding, bring me cups of espresso late at night, and I would imagine that I could also have a crush on such a robot. mmm. some kind of Barbarella mixed with Emma Peel robot.

My heart is like a scared rabbit. Hopping erratically. No. My eyes suddenly scrunched up and wet, trying to get a clearer image in my head. No. My hands clenched around a pathetic piece of paper, crumpled because I am trying to hold on to something nowhere near this room.

No. I mean a whole damn wave, exactly like they say it, a beautiful cliched wave of longing. I did not really believe these waves existed but they do. I just felt one.

Longing - Matthew Arnold

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me!

Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream truth,
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say, My love why sufferest thou?

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Long"ing (?), n.

An eager desire; a craving; a morbid appetite; an earnest wish; an aspiration.

Put on my crown; I have immortal longings in me. Shak.
