When there's a want, there's a way. That's what they say, isn't it? When there's a want, there is a way.
But what is the want? And how do we know it's really there or not? How do we quantify desire? When is it enough, just right, or too much?
When projected over a distance or an obstacle, all longing is magnified, distorted grossly so as to bear little or no resemblance to the original feeling. Sometimes it even springs from a different feeling altogether, in no way related to the desire it manifests as. Sometimes you'll want a person that's far away just because you feel misunderstood, or just plain lonely. The ones close to you just aren't good enough, but that one person? That one really far-away person? Fuck, does she seem awesome, if only because she hasn't had the chance to disappoint you yet.
Your only choice is to hang on to that fleeting possibility that you've latched on to something special, something real, and against all odds, you have the chance to pursue it. In a life that's this short, you'd be a fool not to delve into it.
But in the end, you know you're only going to have to hurt her, too.
