I came up with a reason.
Is it true?
I don't know.
But I think it is enough.
I think it will satisfy.
I craved David.
I craved David with every fiber of my being.
I craved him despite knowing
how unhealthy he was for me.
Perhaps I craved him because he was unhealthy.
But that isn't my revelation for today.
No, no. Today I put my finger on
why I kept going back to him.
Over and over again...
I came up with two resons;
I think they work well together.
To remind myself why...
1) To remind myself why
I was attracted to him,
why I gave to him that which
I had for only one man.
2) To remind myself why
I left him over and over,
why he was so unhealthy for me.
To remember [twofold] ...
what I loved and what I hated.
I need to remember the attraction,
and I cannot allow myself to forget the pain.
That is why I did what I did.
That is why I fight his pull
to this very day. And forever.
