rambling

why is it that when i miss a person i feel as if my body is in prolonged torture? it's as if there is this insatiable longing. like i'm drawn to an invisible vortex or rather to an opposing polarity.

why is it that opposite polarities of a magnet attract? and how is it that similar ones repel? what if these polarities weren't named positive and negative but, let's say... male and female, would that explain the existence of soulmates?
