Listen to poem:

Courting in the Digital Age

A message sent, an icon lights the screen,
Her heart skips with a hope—what will he say?
No flowers now, just words in lines between,
A digital courtship, love found this way.

She reads his thoughts, like whispers through the night,
A photo shared, a smile across the miles,
Though screens divide, emotions take their flight,
A growing bond, unseen but full of trials.

He types a pause, then waits for her reply,
No letters sealed, no hands that reach to hold,
Yet hearts connect, and neither can deny
The dance of love in forms both new and bold.

In virtual spaces, sparks ignite the flame,
Two souls entwined, though life is not the same

I thoroughly enjoyed the way you delve into how real love can be cultivated with all the same depths as written love letters even in the technological era. Well done! Regards, A.S.
