Tragedy shows its real form

Is it possible to feel a connection, a kind of "togetherness", to someone you haven't even met? A person who doesn't even know that you exist? It's silly, right? Like when little girls fall in love with popstars or Hollywood celebrities, just because they idolize them. A grown up shouldn't have those kind of feelings, right? I would actually say it's something wrong with that person. In other words there is something wrong with me.

Is it because I feel lonely, because I have been single for a long time? Is it some kind of defence act, to protect myself from falling in love with a real person? I'm not in love with this person, it's just that I can't stop thinking about how it would be to actually meet that person. Would we be as alike as I imagine? Would we understand each other in a way that no one else could? Probably not. Oh my God, I am pathetic.
