I couldn't touch your face or kiss your lips
I couldn't even hold your hand
All we could do was type words across a screen
It was almost as if we were in this imaginary land
We grew so close and you became my best friend
I fell in love with you over time
Through all the Instant Messages, phone calls, texts, and emails
Our love grew higher than we could climb
Days turned to weeks, and weeks turn's to months
We knew each other better than anyone ever could
Endless hours were spent talking about everything and nothing
We laughed and we cried, we spent more time together than we should
Our love was like no other, different yes but true
How can I fall in love with someone I can't see?
Maybe it was the words you typed across my screen
Or maybe it was the thought of something that could never be
We dreamed and we hoped, we made promises that we could not keep
We promised we would be together someday no matter how long it would take
But sometimes promises get broken and dreams don't always come true
Hopes get crushed and hearts break
I still find myself sitting in front of my computer from time to time
Waiting, wishing and hoping for those beautiful words of yours to pop up just once more across my screen.
