Internet Long...
/Internet Long-Distance Love
We met online and fall in love.
Days and nights we spent time
with electronic chats, misspelled words,
and emoji emotions, but it didn’t work.
We were part of an illusional world
to which we’ve got glued - sending selfies
with plastic smiles,
promising love on Valentine’s,
touching the screen saying “good bye”.
And one day I realized,
the out-of-Internet truth:
I’m Siber-Me, you are Siber-You.
We are just two distant faces,
from two distant places.
I am not willing to kill any more time
clicking the mouse; waiting for chat.
I need a real kiss, real hug, real love.
Practically, we are just two strangers.
The Internet cannot fill the gap.
