Picture by Alan Ayers

* * *

It was at random we first met
Two souls drifting through space
I read your words before me
But was unable to see your face

We typed like there was no tomorrow
As many messages were sent
Time had little meaning
Many hours with you were spent

Every day I'd write to you
Eagerly hoping for a reply
Such a relationship was risky
For one could so easily lie

But I trusted you with my heart
As I revealed my inner soul
For so long my heart lay empty
But you so easily filled that hole

I felt like I'd known you forever
You promised me love and so much more
You had turned my life around
Were you the one I'd been searching for?

But one day you broke my heart
I guess some things aren't meant to be
You had erased me from your memory
For you had finished using me

* * *

I wrote this for all the lonely people
who search for love on the internet, a
place where people are not always what
they seem.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, I know this feeling ever so well because on New Years Day I lost my Joanna when she confessed she never really loved me and had someone for 8 months she never told me about! (sad sigh) Sometimes I feel love just isn't for me but nevertheless I will keep dreaming and wish it will come, and I am not posting the Candy Heart Poems because I a in love, when I am really heartbroken, but just want to give something to everyone that lovers can share with one another and make them happy, this is heartfelt, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

this is so sad, how people can just use each other, I don't get it...

Sue, this is very true, I've heard. I
didn't meet my Love on the internet. I've
been asked that, but he doesn't even
have a computer. We do send each other
a lot of letters and phone calls when we are away
from each other.

I really feel for people that this happens to,
though. No-one deserves to be used by someone else...

Indeed... Though "real time" can be equally as risky... I think the important thing to remember is that there's always that "face-to-face" meeting to finally make or break the bond... Wise words here, Sue...

Sue~ I hope your honest words reach many of the people that put too much into these internet relationships. I'm for doing things the old fashion way. Enjoyed...Paul

This is beautiful, Sue! Both, the picture and the poem. I have heard of this happening. There are some, though, who were fortunate to find a true love on the internet. As for me, I would never go that route.

This is beautiful and sad at the same moment.
