It hurts but I do it anyway

[razor_bladekiss]

Yesterday morning I seared my tongue on a
hot cup of coffee.

For some reason or another I keep pressing
it against my teeth, even though I know that
it is going to hurt.

Do I do it because I need to remind myself
that it is there or am I doing it because I
know that if I leave it alone it will go
away and then I wont even remember it was
there to begin with?

Puzzling..
