Love At First Byte

I read the words you've posted on my screen; 
I lurk inside the Ethernet unseen; 
A token touch - all hesitant and new: 
My thoughts are reaching out from me to you.
A digital discovery is formed.
Two lonely lives, a linking now performed.
It isn't much - but smallest steps can do
Most wondrous things if we believe it true.
I do believe, and so open my heart; 
Put it on line, as online each impart
Ideas with such soft sentimental words
That touch the core, strike harmonizing chords.
But how I dream - a craving clawing clutch - 
To truly feel the realness of his touch!
