Digital
With a low, calming voice on the other line you spoke
My growing interest & curiosity with you finally broke
The plane lands & I'm walking towards you without the foggiest clue
Of who you are & how I was gonna handle you
Our old times recorded in a bottle I quietly miss
Composing a chat•box message & tossing it into the great blue abyss
Your consistent chat•box presence put me on a good high alert
For years & years back & forth via chat•boxes we'd subtly flirt
The more involved in my life you were, the more I walk away from the synthetic vibes & energies that cause me the pain every day
I can't think of a time where we ceased to exist
But growing up I can think of a lot of each other's lives that we've missed
Whatever social media we had, you were always there
Sometimes through your profiles I would just sit & stare
Figuring out the Man of Mystery I had always knew
Watching each other via pixelated screens as we grew
A vast great distance - but really always there
Watching through rose-colored glasses our hearts by ex's get hurt & tear
I feel like when we chatted, & when we were free
Our chat•boxes were just privately pixelated diaries
I wonder what finally gave you the courage to ask
But when you brought me a red rose - I Immediately knew my task
And although it really didn't go our way
I'd do it all over again & again & again today
So like I've said before - I've never fallen or been "in love"
'Cause I haven't found someone worthy who'll meet me far in between & above
If I had to sit and really think about the possible few
The only person worthy for a spot in my life - would've been you
I have cared & loved both - to an extent
However; no one's ever gotten as dangerously close as you went...
