Written with years of experience and more than a touch of warning. People who delay meeting are not comfortable with it. They want your attention... why? Well, there are a million possible reasons.  Some relationships are fine to be semi-anonymous and just online. But caution is needed. 

And  guard your heart !! ( and your wallet)

Your voice in my mind, the perfect elixir (Yep) You’re encoded into my dreams, feel you near A predestined love, it’s crystal clear (My online lover, you live so far!) We talk all night, it’s just me slip into my D M s, out of sight Your way about you , your words, Lull me to be a cosmic nerd! In text you make my heart go pitter patter (holy cow) Heat my innards, my elusive lover I fall in deeper, you have that range Reality blurs is it day or night? we go for hours savoring every word (Just text read) its so absurd! (Text to sext, whats next?!) [Instrumental interlude] [Pre-Chorus] You opened up a space into my heart But are you for real? I can't tell Its just Lines of text, I swear I can feel you (I can) want to meet you, you’re a screen, but you know who I am! love so imperfect, out of balance and caught up in! (so imperfect) but caught up in! (makes me nervous, red flags to the end!) [Chorus] How can you touch me, reach into my soul? (Oh god) I feel like I have lost all control You’re like a mirage, but I don’t seem to mind I’ve fallin’ for you and left reality behind You are real, but you are not here But who knows if what you told me, is the real deal there is so much more to the story, you have not sold that part of the marketing left out is oh so cold... (is it just to get one over on meeeeee!) [Verse 2] I let you in, completely Trusting to much, you peeled me like an onion Your every question designed to get me to open up A for sure a psychological assault (or was it?) I tell you my secrets, you never seem to judge Your captive audience never seems to hold a grudge When I log off, and the real world hits You’re just a ghost in the internet after my secrets (oh ) You photos could be all fake, your response all crafted to make me feel safe But I still fall more under your spell It’s crazy, I know, I feel like I am going straight to hell I’m hooked on the fantasy, that you may be real (the real deal) (the feels) [Bridge] You echo my heart in every line I write (you do) I worry I am dissect offline, to find the perfect in I long for something real, am I really that lonely Are you an internet pirate?, just here to find an in (am I in a pirate's C R M?!) [Verse] I know I told you things that I should not reveal (I'm so dumb) You have reeled me in, have you had your fun? sweet nothings whispered in the night I deserve more, but what is at your core? (are you real?) [Hook] Let me go, or meet me in real life don't catfish me in, promises you don't intend [Pre-Chorus] You’re writing checks, you don't intend to keep You reached into my soul, so far it makes me weep (I can't sleep) Lets meet, stop just haunting my screen love perfect in D Ms, caught up in a dream (always perfect, till the light of day!) [Outro] I must touch you, hold you close quit selling yourself if its all a pack of lies You have made a case for a real-world us (sold) I've fallin’ for the man behind the screen If you're not real, please just give up the pretense Just be that imaginary lover, just you and me that wild thing we once did never meant a thing just an online fling Just an online fling ( you hooked me in) ( was it even real?) For half a second real? What was the real deal? Will I ever know Just to cop a fast one... a virtual feel [fading vocals] (a virtual feel) (a virtual feel) (cop to what's real) ( the real deal) (it was for me) [Instrumental] [End]

Thanks, just let my thoughts pour out. Had to trim them back to fit into a song. But reality is, love in the DMs is a complex thing.
