Did I Meet U In My Digital World

Did I meet u in my digital world?

You were just a chat name and nothing more

A man without a face

You just logged into my world

And made it so colorful

Every day morning and evening

I looked forward to say the little hai to you,

 

You shared your world and I was happy just to be with you

I read desire in your words and a thrill ran down my spine

I was torn with reality and the world I shared with you

I fantasized and created a world with only me and you

 

Then came a flash and I woke up with a start

To realize the reality and the world of you

My active imagination gave away

Sensation painted with love which not even

A real lover could afford to endure

 

It was after all my inner voice and not you

I grieved the silence I could never share

My lover was a fiction but

my sense of loss was real

When both collided reality won

Because I wanted it to win,

I missed my internet lover

But wanted my real world too

Sanity returned but the flight was great

Something to cherish in a moment

Life goes on without you….  sunkan
