It developed out of lonliness It stayed because of need Even tho I fought it vigorously It took me over like a weed Once I was tangled in it's web I lost sight of my sanity I'd always dreamed of feeling this But I remembered I wasn't free Torn between what's right and wrong I tried to break away My mind still knew what it must do But my heart kept screaming stay At night I'd wait till all was still Then I'd sob myself to sleep Only to dream of sea-green eyes And feelings kept buried deep It was the first time one of my fantasies Had ever come to life I was helpless to fight the feelings And unprepared to face its strife Fantasies are something Over which we have control We weave them oh so carefully To make them fit the mold In them no one is ever hurt Only happiness plays a part But when we deal with reality It involves both mind and heart There comes a time when you must choose Which road that you will take You realize no matter which Someone's heart is bound to break My advice to all who read this If this problem comes your way Fantasize if you must But from reality never stray For even tho its enticing And you believe you have much to gain Please don't let it fool you friend It must always end in pain!
