Love Is Not Love That Alters

love has drifted and shifted from old days, from daisies, roses and chocolate trays, we fall in love, not after meet and look, love is often through twitter or facebook! her eyes were so dreamy on her webpage, her lips so rosy they lit in me rage, I fondled, kissed the pillow next to me, dreamt with her I had a family tree! I messaged her twice and got no reply, good girls of that age I knew would be shy, googled and Yahood, finally tracked her down, knew exactly where she lived in my town! that evening when we met, my love went cold, her photo on her webpage was 30 years old!

The number one reason not to hunt for a mate via internet. It seems everyone is a liar. I really love the humorous ending, Krish.

Laughed aloud at the ending... Must agree that is what happens in most cases. Need to be careful before we act. Have a wonderful day ahead.

That certainly shattered the illusion Krish. Nothing beats face to face, at least you can see what you're buying lol. Hope your day is going well and good luck. Tom
