*TEARS OF LOVE*

Love...where the hearts and souls of two people touch
merging together to form one heart....one soul....one person.
Emotions spiraling out of control, engulfing you within their depths.
Feelings so overwhelming they consume your very being.
Wonder at how a love so profound and so intense
has never touched your life.....until now.





Confusion...Can someone actually love someone sight unseen?
Can someone truly love someone though words alone 
even if those words are from their heart?
And how does that someone invade your very mind
with images of nothing but them
and them alone......every hour of every day?
Making you hunger and yearn for them so intensely, it hurts?





Pain...The longing for a simple touch...a small caress...a gentle kiss.
The desolate feelings when they aren't online.
The loneliness, the emptiness, the pain.
The distance, the commitments, life’s uncertainties that separate you.
The desire, the passion...yet to be taken beyond virtual reality.
The desperate yearning to love them not only with typed words
but with your body.





Trust...Entrusting your heart, placing it beside their own so they beat as one.
Sharing your life, your dreams, your very essence with them.
Taking their pain, when they hurt, allying their fears when they are frightened.
Shedding your own tears when they cry, longing to hold them in your arms.
So your tears also blend together....as your hearts have already done.





Pledge...I swear to you, with all that I am,
that I will love you today, tomorrow and every tomorrow there after.
And if, after we meet, eternity on here is all that we have,
I would spend every minute of it...with you.
You are my life and without you...I am nothing.
You always say these three simple words convey so very much.
So I say them to you now from the very depths of my soul.





I Love You.
