Questions Of Love

by Chris Sheffler - Aries

Is it wrong to wish on a falling star,
to dream of something that seems so far,
to hope for things that will never be,
to imagine love from you to me?

Is it wrong to wish on a fading dream,
to pray for anything that would redeem,
to want to be with someone like you,
to believe that it could all be true?

Is it wrong to wish on a silent thought,
to speak of things that were never sought,
to find the words I’ve been searching for,
to make you the one that I always adore?

Is it wrong to wish on a waning light,
to think that everything will be all right,
to remember what brings on the pain,
to stand along in the pouring rain?

Is it wrong to wish on a velvet sky,
to break down often and start to cry,
to need something that never was here,
to hold you close, to hold you near?

Is it wrong to wish on a falling tear,
to look away from everything I fear,
to long for a time that we’d be the same,
to listen as you cried out my name?

Is it wrong to wish on an undying love,
to plead for redemption to come from above,
to desire to feel loved for just one day,
to imagine the words I’ve wanted to say?

Is it wrong to wish on a final belief,
to give up this pain and welcome relief,
to show you the love that lies within me,
to be released from this incessant fantasy?

Reason for writing:

    Lately I've been wondering if it was wrong to hold onto dreams like they were reality, believing they might come true one day, but always knowing that they never shall...  I've been thinking if it was right or wrong, but it's hard to determine something when your heart says hold on, but everything else says let go...
