Caught up in the words
that appear on your screen
Wanting to believe
so much of what is seen
Your heart skips a beat
with each new person you meet
Wrapped in illusion
There becomes confusion
What is real, what is fake
So much of you to give and take
Freely speaking words you'd often not say
Hoping later, your heart won't pay
You wait for that comment, or email, or shout
Finding so many ways to overlook your doubt
It's different this time, it has to be
He's sweet, he's smart, and he loves me
What's a little distance
When there is no resistance
What's and issue or two
Love will see you through
Then one day you realize its just a dream
What you wanted it to be, is all you have seen
Your eyes are now open and reality set it in
You wake up alone, and your life is not him
Though never real, your heart is still cold
The emptiness takes its familiar mold
And you wonder how long it is going to be
Before you head back to fantasy
