Lust is the absence of love but the yearning for it. Wanting something that is not present, that will hope to appear in a moment in time. But this time is unspecified and might not arrive. Vulnerability is the action of love, and lust is to want something near you. To crave comfortability and closeness without being emotionally attached. Lust is boarding the train for love but hopping off at the next stop. Selfishness, a facade, a hunger for love, a void for fulfillment. The vice that can continue into a cycle of chasing the unchangeable. It is a side effect of emotional unavailability, of fear, or simply sinful pleasure. Surrendering your body to another for animalistic hunger that is satisfied by the detached attachment. The avoidance of commitment, of changing for the other person, of pursuing a future, and of giving up control.
