Imprinted Hearts: Anxious Desires
It is said that when you form strong feelings of infatuation and a desire always to be close to someone, you have imprinted on them.
Before Jake entered my life, I never thought it was possible to be so consumed by anyone. His arrival was a surprise, a twist in the story of my life. But when our paths crossed, I felt an unbreakable pull towards him. It was as if he had left a permanent mark on my soul, filling my emptiness with his presence. And when he locked eyes with me, it felt like he could see into my very being, claiming my heart for himself.
I was in a new relationship then and remember feeling utterly disconnected from my then-partner. I was in an unfamiliar and dangerous territory. However, Jake and I began a sinful romance that would not be short-lived.
On occasion, Jake and I would cross paths, and I would be greeted by the familiar scent of his cologne, a comforting and alluring aroma that brought back memories of our time spent together. His presence in my life was a constant reminder of our past passion. Our stolen moments lingered like forbidden fruit, tempting me with their secrecy.
As time passed, guilt weighed on me for betraying my partner, yet I couldn’t resist Jake’s pull. Our encounters became less frequent but more intense.
