Awesome Poem... I felt that one... You have a special talent..

Jessica

I must say this is a very great poem. I think the part about the phone ringing and it being a friend asking him to go out but he doesn't that is the best part truly. Because i know how that feels. The pain to sit night after night looking at a screen and knowing not any time soon you are going to be able to touch that person on the other side. But to whoever might read this let me warn you. Internet love is serious more serious than you might think. Sometimes it is nothing and you think it is something. But sometimes it is something and on those occasions you must treat it carefully or you can lose it with a movement of your fingers on a keyboard. This is a great poem.

I just wanted to say that this peom is truly wonderful :) This poem brought nothing short from happiness to my soul and atear to my eye. I know what's it's like to have an internet love, miles away, but inhabiting your heart and soul naturally. This poem gives a beautiful explanation of that love I, and many others, know all to well.

I couldn't have said it better myself. This poem describes my situation to the letter. Problem is, I still haven't solved the distance factor, but I'm going to keep trying.

Denise

I am pretty sure you read my mind... this is exactly how i feel... the overwhelming love and every once in a while that little tiny bit of insecurity... but more than anything, the longing to be together and finally be whole...

Tisha

i really enjoy this poem because it states the truth of what some people go through when they meet that special someone online...

the essence of an online romance, the unsure feelings of not ever knowing what will happen, not knowing whether the other person is being true, the pain of separation.

Joanne
