Instant Message Man

Though I never saw his face
I was sure he was the one
I've been talking to him
For quite a while...

His font is gorgeous
On my computer screen
His feelings seemed so real
And I had believed his every word

I guess it's hard to be afraid
When you aren't face to face with the guy
But when he wanted to meet me
I wasn't sure what to do

I had thought about it sure
But never thought he would actually ask
I didn't know what to say
So I didn't say anything

When he said I should come to his house
The night after, 
so we could
"Get to know each other"

I realized
I didn't know this man at all
And I deleted him
Like he had never been there...
