Souls lost in a computer

Going through the motions seems so useless
A fruitless search for love that leads nowhere
except a broken heart and poor choices
I see why I love, but not why I love you

Torturing myself with a love that I cannot have
Nor can you, but we do not stop.....why
We are driven to be together which will never be
Driven by this passion uncontrolled within us

I laugh at the times we have had on line
Smile at the memories of our voices on the phone
But my heart cries to be next to you
Gazing into your eyes and feeling your touch

Oh my sweet, dear love, why did we meet
The pleasures we share so quickly turn to pain
The laughter fades to tears as I lie here alone
Spinning my dreams of what can never be

We have touched one another as no one has
Our souls were one, long before we met here
Our voices are typed in unison on white
my breath is your breath, your heartbeat mine

Is it our ties to others that make the love more real
My vision is clouded between what I want, and what is
When the fog lifts I know I will need strength
For one of us must surely say goodbye, oh let it be me

I know I will love you always, as it has forever been
This life we are in allows us to never meet
Commitments made to others we cannot break
But we know our souls will meet and touch again
