Is It Wrong?

Is it wrong
to be so addicted to someone
Someone you don't even know
but only see
Someone who makes you want so badly
that you can physically feel it?

Is it wrong
to desire such things
Things that may never be real
except in dreams
Things that haunt you
and thrill you, and consume you?

Is it wrong
to feel such a strong devotion
For someone, and something
that lives in a world of anonimity
Yet makes you squint to survive
the feelings that it evokes?

Is it wrong
for me to love you
Even though I don't know you?

Is it wrong
for me to want you
Even though I don't know you?

Is it wrong
for me to wish
that I knew you?

Because I do.

And if that is wrong,
Then if you could look into my eyes
And feel my heart with your own two hands
And understand this thing that makes no sense
Then I think you would say to me,
"It is neither right,
nor wrong,
but something that just has to be"
