Any person that enters into the scope of your physical admiration, no matter how brief the encounter. Some say it's who you sleep with, have sex with, have a physical history with. Others say it is someone who has an appreciation for an idea, object or person. I say it's someone who breathes you in as you breathe out, and who you turn right back around and inhale them back into you.
