Online romance.. so real that

Only a few know its spell.

Caught unaware by its magic

That gradually seems to compel.

Your every waking thought.

Somewhere out there in space

Your hearts become as one, though

You’ve never seen his face.

At times when silence prevails,

In your mind the fears arise,

That perhaps he’s found another,

That all has been but lies.

The helplessness you now feel

Overwhelms your very soul,

And melancholia appears, o’er

Which you have no control.

Is he hurt, perhaps ill or away?

Not realizing your concern?

If in online affairs we indulge,

Forbearance then, we must learn.

Many don’t understand why

We give of ourselves this way.

Falling in love is not planned,

It just happens along the way.

The fear remains, if one day

He decides to say goodbye,

Then there’s a price to pay

And it’s found extremely high.

There are no guarantees for those

Who, in their imagination, scheme

Of one day being together, for it

May just be an impossible dream.
