Social Media Princess

We first met coasting the blurred lines of the information superhighway. We exchanged polite words and respectful kindness, though we seldom saw or heard each other. I am the old man of touch and eye contact, you are the princess of text and illusions. I adapt to your hot realms, to your affinity for glittering screens because past and future, old and young are but shadows cast over the now. Once I learned the rules, I believed in you. You are alive and fragrant within the text you deliver each moment of each day. In the photos you send, in the stories you share, you thrive and brighten my journey! Social Media Princess, my apps erect you through your words, like the heroine I love in my favorite novel, the perfect Eidolon in my dreams. You return, making your offerings again, and again. I somehow hear your whispering words soothing my solitary hungry heart. I somehow awaken to your textual passion and kindness, to my love and longing for you.
