Is it wrong to love someone
When there are miles that come between you?
Is it fair to hold on to love
When those fleeting moments
Since you last touched
Have become months, even years?
Is it right to expect someone
To return the love of which you dream?
Should a lover fight to keep
The love for which he longs,
Or, having lost, accept his fate,
And seek another path?
