Is it Wrong

Is it wrong
to want to kiss your collarbone
Knowing it is an impossibility 

Is it wrong to 
Want to be yours

To hope against hope
for something that cannot be

To want to etch the shape
of your eyes in the back of my mind
to want to remember them forever

Is it wrong
that I recognize your silhouette 
In the distance

to want to caress your face
to be able to hold your hand
to want to hug you
when I feel like giving up

Knowing it cannot be

Is it wrong 
to be feeling this way
