Somewhere between 'not enough' and 'not at all.' I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it - to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once. But they never gave that to me. Never, not once. Haruki Murakami
About This Quote

I wanted to feel the love of someone so badly that I was willing to endure pain for it. I wanted to be filled with love to the point of being full and satisfied.
