This is the story of a woman who found love in cyberspace
She met him one summers day, as the holidays were dawning
But he wrote her an email about something she had written on her page
They spent hours talking, of things such as life, love and such
But as the days turned to weeks, and they both realized their fate
So, across many thousands of miles she did travel to him
He asked her to marry, and with tears in her eyes she said yes
She longed for her lover, so alone and so lost without him
Months later, he packed his bags and came to see her this time
The quiet moments, the sad moments, knowing it would soon be over
This is a love story of two people who both know what they have
She hadn’t gone looking, and wished it had been some other place
A party maybe, or at work, or perhaps even on the street
Would have been better, than spend hours on the net each night to meet.
She tried to talk to him, but his cockiness was met without warning.
Alright she thought, I wont talk with him anymore
And hit the exit to leave the room, as if finding a door.
A webpage of poems, a journal of her trials as she aged.
And sceptically she wondered what this man might be up to
But replied none the less, and that’s when her life started anew.
And pretty soon this girl realized her heart had turned to mush.
She tried so hard to stop it, from falling in love on the net
With a faceless man that she had not yet even met.
There was nothing they could do, but meet each other and wait
To see if this love that had happened across the miles on the net
Could be as alive in real life, or something they should forget.
To be with the man who had captured her heart like a sin.
And when they met, they both saw, this love was still real
And more determined than ever to make it work they did feel.
But of the long, hard road ahead, they could not even guess.
So in love and content, but as would be, their time came to an end
And she had to come home, a broken heart left to mend.
But swore that together, eventually and ultimately they would be.
He, as determined, kept the sanity in days that were bad
When the hurt of separation, threatened to drive both of them mad.
The loneliness and missing each other, locked away like a crime
For together, they were happy, as it was meant to be
Their love obvious, arms around each other, for anyone to see.
When time cruelly told them, he’d have to return without his lover.
And he did, and their hearts both shattered and torn again
But knowing, that the home stretch ahead they would win.
That nothing is impossible, if they are holding each other’s hand
That against all odds, they will survive, and together they will be
When all the paper work is over, and all the waiting sets them free.
