Sometimes when the hour is late As the screen glows blue in darkened room Typing on keys berating my fate Longing for sleep, cursing the gloom One small voice piercing the night Awakening the phosphor could bring a smile Turning the panel to one of bright white Bringing me love, her soft words so beguile If I keep my eyes open - will she appear Or stay offline with her dog for her cheer Leaving me lonely with feelings so drear Do she know how she's needed - did I make it clear I've never needed, never needed till now Yet I need her this moment, I'll make her a vow I'll always be hers - love till my dying ciao Cherish her love, all that is mine to her endow I know it's not just my loneliness talking We both sparkle with life whenever we chat Essential to us is a whole lot of hugging We both feel a tingle - what's wrong with that? Only seen pictures but they're not the story Beauty can't be denied but the beauty inside Counts more by far than her crowning glory It's the spiritual her has me dewy-eyed So those times when the hour is late And the screen glows blue in darkened room Typing on keys I simply wait Longing for her, till she's in my room |

This is a beautiful verse depicting romance of the times, via the net. But you truly can know somebody this way. If this poem is a true story, I hope she responds, she is a lucky lady Liz |

the wonder of words tie the heart in a binding grasp that no physical moment could ever endure. And that long anxious wait fulfilled by words appearing magically on the screen. I hope shes reading.I wish you the best. |

What's wrong with that, you ask? Absolutely nothing, my friend. I had never realized that feelings could travel through wires but they can...indeed they can.... |
