The Perfect Drug

When I was first introduced
there was no interest
I accepted you
as my friend's addiction

Chemicals didn't react
and it was over
I was still curious

Time went on
More free time during the summer
Still curious about this addiction
Did I want to take the chance?

I took the plunge
It seemed innocent at first
I didn't realize
that soon you'd be my addiction

Then there was no more
Hard to accept
My drug was gone

Remission- 5 months
Still often remembered
Learned to move on

Another place I had gone
2 phone calls from home
"It's back"
Hard to believe

My friend brought the drug
to my attention
Nervous, but wanted to be remembered
of the innocent meetings

The drug found me again
This time I didn't hide
I welcomed it

Time went by
History repeats itself again
It's now my addiction

Wanting to see it
Wanting to want it
Knowing it's so close
Yet so far away

The addiction-
The need-
grows worse everyday
and time goes on

I wish to have you within reach
I want you
You want me
Visions and thoughts linger
When will my addiction be fed-
content?

So I wait again
for yet another day
to absorb,
to want,
to need,
to miss,
to love,
... the perfect drug
