LOVE IN CYBERSPACE Another Monday, another week He's got so many meetings today "Bye honey, take care" he says, A peck on my cheek, and he's on his way I shower and change, tie back my hair Switch on the A/C, pull up my chair Hook on to the net, check my mail, Logon to my chattie and look for you You're not online yet, I wonder why Peak hour traffic? broken down car? I hum a tune and watch the time "PING!"...Hey!! there you are!! "Hi love, sorry I'm late" you type "Six months of chatting, don't you think we should meet?" My heart is racing, don't know what to say "Yes, Oh yes! but could we keep it discreet?" We fix up a time and think of a place Lunch, Thursday, at "The Rendezvous" I'll be in my nice new powder blue dress You'll bring me a rose, wear your gray suit
Its Thursday, I'm here, am looking for you My eyes sift through the crowd and .... "Oh my God, no, don't do this to me!!!" It's my husband behind that menu card He turns and looks and our eyes meet He waves to me, doesn't seem very happy! "Hey! Fancy seeing you here" he says I sit myself down while wanting to flee We smile and talk, ask for something to drink Then all of a sudden, I begin to stare And his eyes seem to be widening too We suddenly notice what's right there
He's in his favorite gray suit The rose peeping from under his office file Accusations and apologies dart back and forth As we stare silently at each other for a while Then the irony of it all sets in Like some message from eternity Off the net and on it too, Guess WE were just destined to be!!!
