upon this powerful net,
parts of each other,
although we've never met.
We spoke of many things,
our real lives, hopes and dreams,
wanting the other to know,
we are as we seem.
Slowly over time,
feelings began to grow,
each feeling deeply for the other,
feelings neither of us could show.
For so long I waited,
for you to say you love me,
waiting to hear the words,
words to set me free.
Free to love you,
to finally say how I feel,
to let you know my love,
and to let you know it was real.
As if in a dream,
those words you spoke,
so badly did I want to hear them,
I feared it was a joke.
To finally know your feelings,
to finally know you care,
to know no matter what,
you would always be there.
But like a dream,
I awakened to,
your fear of my love,
and fear of me and you.
Now I await your words,
hoping you will see,
though we have not touched,
you are a reality to me.
