That Bittersweet Feeling

Do you know that feeling you get when you just finish a book that you love? That desire for the story to continue and the ability to follow those characters for as long as you can?

It's odd but i have the reverse of this feeling.

I've picked up a book, so to speak, and i find myself wanting to go back into the past, to be able to read all of the experiences of the character's history.

I feel like the best relationships, friends or otherwise, have this to some level or another. The desire to have had this wonderful person in your life even longer.

It's sort of greedy, when you think about it... But I think it's an element of one of the most pure things in the world.

I've never even thought that way Sean. It's very interesting.
I always feel good when a book leaves me in a position where I know their fictional lives are going on. Then I don't feel like they've died. And I don' think that's a greedy feeling to have per say, more that you want to know people completely. I find that totally understandable.
