It all began with an electronic hello;
A compliment and a conversation.
You were as sweet as honey
And I was a fly stuck in your trap.
Days, weeks, and months flew by,
The closer we got to each other.
We became more than "just friends";
We became lovers.
But not in the traditional sense;
Our love lived entirely online.
It thrived in phone conversations
And heart emojis sent hundreds of times.
But an online relationship can't last forever,
if there's nothing but texts and calls.
What were we really together for,
If we weren't actually together at all?
So now I'm left in pieces
And confused about what to feel.
Because I still love you
And wanting desperately for it to be real.
