Online Love

We met online (what amazing rapport!)
It was as if we'd loved before.
I laughed outloud at things you wrote
as you crossed the cyber-moat.
My fingers flew across the keys
to answer your "please meet me" pleas.

And that rapport continued through
when we met 'neath sky of blue.
We talked and touched until the dawn
when the sun peered o'er the lawn.
With tender sigh and soft caress,
you said "I'll see you soon", and left.

And then once weekly we DID meet
to talk and laugh with kisses sweet.
Yet each time we met it seemed
that you had less time to convene.
And that wealth of e-conversation
waned to briefest salutations.

Till one day I scanned online,
and saw your ad once more defined.
Your looking for that perfect match
made me feel a tad detached.
So excuse me if I grieve
to see my erstwhile lover leave.

I guess our love meant more to you
In cyberspace where you were true.
