How can I face myself
When I know you aren't real?
I search inside myself
To find a reason for the way I feel
I didn't choose to fall in love
Crimson eyes
Raven-black hair
That defies the law of gravity
But it's not like I care
I didn't choose to fall in love
I can't see why
I could love you with everything I am
I know you aren't real
But it's not like I give a damn
I didn't choose to fall in love
An anime character
I couldn't imagine it before
The fact that you don't exist
It makes me want you even more
I didn't choose to fall in love
I realize that you don't exist
My stubborn and quiet Hiei
But it's something I can't change
So it'll have to remain this way
I didn't choose to fall in love
To some, my feelings are stupid
To others, they're plain strange
I realize my feelings are in vain
But still, they are something I cannot change
I didn't choose to fall in love
Author notes
First I must apologize for the slightly bad language in the third stanza... I honestly didn't plan for it to be there. *bows* I'm very very sorry about that...
Uhhh... Must I say anything else? Oh, it's baised on Yu Yu Hakusho character, Hiei (sort of)... Okay, more of inspired by him

A very cute piece. I know that you are not the only one to ever experience this either! I'm sure we all have secretly fallen for one anime character or another! Anyways I like the repeating line that you used and the way the author is sort of fighting with herself? in this. I feel a lot of back and forth with this piece, that feeling of I know you arent real and I shouldnt feel this, but at the same time I really have no control over it.
I do agree with your comment that the third staza sounds a little bit awkward but I think if you just go back to it and rework it you could really make it great. I am sure there is a way and I hope you find it!
Beautifully done, thank you for sharing it. -
A very good poem with nice flowing rhymes.
Your feelings are not that stupid or strange. Sometimes the anime/manga characters seem so life like, you almost forget they are not real

This was SWEET! It had that certain touch...can't put my finger on it!
Good luck and thx 4 entering!

I love this. I love the repetition, "I didnt choose to fall in love" It makes it all that more beautiful. Lovely write

Cute!
I loved Hiei! I admit, I even wrote a little fan-fic where I added in a green-eyed, red-headed knife fighter with impossible physic powers into the Yu Yu Hakusho's story line.... *giggles* That was such an awful story! Even drew a little picture of what 'my character' looked like-- which keeps me humble whenever I look back on it!
Good luck, hon!

Cool! I like this poem, very much!!!! I am sort of the same way with Yugi and Enki, they are just so cute.
I've only seen a few eps of Yu Yu Hakusho, but it is cool.
Good Luck in the contest!

Awe...sometimes its hard. You build up these walls, trying to protect yourself, and you still just fall inlove. Its not your fault, and its not something you can control. I love this poem...keep up the good work...LaLa
