Love (Afar And Near)

I've gotten over Lee Young Ae. I'm glad my head is still on my shoulders because I felt so foolish admiring someone for her good looks. Senseless to be infatuated with someone you can never have/get to know. I don't know which is worse:

1) To fall in love with someone eg. crush from afar and know there's no possibility of you knowing him/her or have your affection reciprocated, or

2) To fall in love with someone who is right before your eyes in damning circumstances which do not permit you both together eg. both are already engaged/married, the relationship would be frowned upon and deemed incest or inappropriate or otherwise by society.

Both are pathetic scenarios with a tinge of beautiful sadness. Love itself is, afterall beautiful. But to draw a boundary around love which needs air to breathe is tragic. Beautifully tragic. Because you fall in love with a love that doesn't belong to you.
