love on the internet

A need to communicate,
with other lost souls.
A place in space,
faceless.
Secrets are told,
but in a veil of safety.
Across the expanse,
of the internet,

Time slips by,
with less loneliness.
Reaching out,
to one another.
Conversations,
by the ten-fold.
Sometimes more,
sometimes less.


Friends made in time,
others instantly.
Odd happenings,
permeate the waves.
A regular voice,
missed one morning.
Then sudden realization,
they are needed.


With heightened anticipation,
their arrival you wait.
Watching intently,
for the name you need.
Something inside you,
makes this one different.
Time will tell,
if the heart is right.


They appear,
from nowhere.
Like sheet lightning,
before your straining eyes.
In your "little window",
on the world.
The name seems to call you,
you can't resist.
