love, lies, obsession and  hope

obsession is not good thing
hope is good thing
lies are a bad thing
truth is a good thing
unrealistic hope is obsession
love is rarely really love
the lies we live are sometimes more loving
than the truth we really live
to have a friend I will never see, 
while sometimes a heartache, 
can be as satisfying as
a tactile friend
just too know I connect with
another person is the satisfaction
no matter how distant 
no matter how unrealistic
it is not a lie to feel love inside
it is, however, to deny what dwells in me
