It's funny how we confuse sexual chemistry for a solid foundation to base a relationship on. Those memories and feelings burn into your brain and create lasting feelings of yearning. You become addicted to that high you felt when the dopamine and oxytocin flooded your brain. Oxytocin is a chemical that is released in your brain during several different times in your day. Most notably: before, during and after orgasm. Oxytocin just so happens to also be released in babies brains during breastfeeding to produce bonding between mother and child. I think these emotions are elicited at a biological level because as human beings we are here to do one thing: procreate. Our biological desires to populate the earth are so strong we are consistently brought back to the people who stimulate these chemicals in our brain the most.
This has me come to rest on my final thought; I woke up from a dream reaching out for you. My hand is still there and I have yet to feel anything back. I'm not ready to let go.
