Four Simple Words
Who are you?
Where did you come from?
You are just a message on a computer screen
A note posted for everyone to see
Four simple words
“Where is my love?”
I sat and looked for hours
At those four words
Who could have written them?
Do they truly live in a life without love?
Does she sit patiently by her computer?
Waiting for someone to answer
Should I reply?
Should I say that I am also looking for love?
Maybe a poem professing honest love
Maybe a card with a melodic tune
No, two words will be enough
Two words that may capture her heart
Finally, with ten keystrokes I do reply
A simple message
An answer to that pleading question
I write, “Right here”
And then I sit back in my chair
Sipping on a Coke with no ice
Waiting for a reply that may never come
