Before you instant messaged me, I felt incomplete.
Then I took comfort in knowing that one day we'd meet.
We exchanged our love endlessly, all night and all day
Through our blissful and eager keystrokes, with a 56k delay.
I was intrigued with you more with every chat,
I wanted to see you even more than that.
We chatted for hours and hours on end,
Making flirtatious remarks, before pressing send.
When you sent me that picture, I could hardly believe
That such a classic beauty did not want to leave.
I adored you more with every chat,
I was itching to see you even more than that.
You stayed by my digital side through good times and bad,
Sending me customized love icons when I was sad.
After five thousand e-mails and a two-mile message scroll,
The sweet words you sent me had made me whole.
I loved you more with every chat,
I needed to see you even more than that.
I couldn’t wait to see you that night we had planned;
To see your face and greet you with a kiss on the hand.
But now you shattered my dreams and I’m a broken man.
I can’t believe I loved you and your real name is Stan!
