Why do I take to heart everything you say?
Why does your smile have to brighten up my day?
Why do things seem different when they come from you?
How do you make me smile, yet want to cry too?

What is it about you that makes me share it all?
How can I rely on you to catch me when I fall?
How is it that your eyes hold the power of your soul?
How is it, no matter what, that you never lose control?

Now I drift off into dreams
Where things are no more than what they seem
But in my head continues the game
Is it wrong to love you when you'll never feel the same?

It is never "wrong" my friend, to love someone . . . but sometimes it's fruitless and better to guide your emotions elsewhere.

Love is both the honeycomb and the bee sting. Thanks for sharing!

years ago I would have said it's not wrong

now I'm just bitter

tomorrow I will say go ahead and love

It really is horrible and great at the same time.  With the way he and I are, I don't see us growing anything but closer, however as of now I sit and watch him get closer, day by day, to falling in love with another.  I'm happy for him of course, because I want nothing more for him to be happy with the one he loves, but I can't but wish that someday I'll be the one he ends up falling in love with for good.
