I know we say 'have been...for/since' when the action is still going on. But when the action is over do we say 'I was...for/since'.
Context- I was craving biriyani and finally had some and posted on social media. Should the caption be:
"I was craving biriyani for the past few days." since I had biriyani and am not craving it anymore.
Or does the following sound better:
"I had been craving biriyani for the past few days."
