I wanted him in the bluntest way. I
Wanted his lips, his hands, his arms. I
Wanted him the way the ocean wants
The shore, constantly reaching and running
Back. I wanted him the way rain wants to
fall, the way the sun wants to shine, the way
The words want to be read. I wanted him to
Infinity, to the millionth degree, no amount
Of rain could douse the fire I had in me for him.

Blurb: She wanted him in the most bluntest way. She missed him so much. She missed his lips, his touch, his looks, his smell, everything about him. The comparison the author used between “I wanted him the way rain wants to fall, the way the sun wants to shine, the way the words want to be read” just shows how much she lusted for him. This contributes to the theme “People” because people can split into so many categories, like for example, their experience, which is heartbroken, as one of them.
