Amidst the flicker and glare
Of  phosphorescent screens,
We are two strangers
Meeting across the miles.
 
Never to see, hold or touch,
We've still managed closeness
In a world where mere words
Can mean, oh so much.
 
 I seek you out this night
In this playground of the mind
Odd, how with so little contact
You allay my fears,put my heart to flight.
 
I stand before you naked and revealed
And only ask that you do the same
No Brass Band is needed in this field
Lack of admiration for you I cannot feign.
 
Judge me not too harshly my dear
I am but a man, with many a fear
They say that hope springs eternal
But I know, I shall never have you near.
 
Touch my mind gently tonight,
As we say our goodbyes again and again
How I wish I had you within sight
But we part again with the breaking of light.
