If Loving You Is-

Have you ever heard some lyrics that 
moved you to the core?
Moved you to the point that they infused
in your psyche.
That’s what happened to me with the song
“ If Loving You Is Wrong I Don’t Want To
Be Right.”
Think about it, we always want to be right,
but when it comes to matters of the heart
that goes out the window.
If it means being with the one you love,
you will have no problem being “wrong”
If it means you can lose yourself in your
lovers arms.
However, you will be losing yourself in
all your “ wrongness.”
Sometimes it can take a lifetime to find
your mate.
So crossing the bridge of right to wrong
is no problem.
This write is not talking about anything bad,
At the end of the day, it's all about love.
You might have to lose yourself to find true
love
Just don't compromise your morals and who 
you are at the core. 
Then as I digested the lyrics of this song; loving
a man that’s married and doesn't belong to you
is wrong and it’s best to stay on the “ right” 
side of the tracks.

"At the end of the day, it's all about love. You might have to lose yourself to find true love Just don't compromise your morals and who you at the core. " great piece...great advice. I like how you dissected the lyrics and evaluate human behavior regarding love... What are we willing to sacrifice for love? We shouldnt lose ourselves just to experience it i feel...Always, Laura

When it comes to choice one must decide what's right or wrong. Great arguement. Hugs.

Alexis, your timing is so so right... I was just talking to my sister in law that I cannot follow my heart going with a married guy for I know it is so wrong to break a relationship and hurt another woman and I told that to somebody I really liked "I have a crush on you; but I don't go for married man for I don't want to hurt another woman". married t : a couple of guys tol.

I really liked this beautiful piece, Alexis. It seems to be an internal debate between wrong and right, but when it comes to love, there is no power one has. Blessings and warm hugs
