Online Dating

Just another photograph in a sea of solitaire
Waiting for someone to see.
Shall I be honest? Shall I tell a lie?
Who do you want me to be?

Would you? Could you? If you really knew? 
Me, a lover, a fighter, a philosopher, a friend?
I could be any or I could be all
But still not enough in the end.
Who do you want me to be?

I am an athlete, but I am not an athlete.
I am an intellect, but I are not smart.
I am wise, but I am a fool.
I am what you want, but I am not what you need.
Who do you want me to be?

Just another photograph in a sea of solitaire?
This, will never be. 
Because this is me.
A reflection upon a sea of solitaire 
Waiting for someone to see.
