Letters on a keyboard 

Are the way they communicate 

In a world of words 

No touch beyond the screen 

No kiss goodnight 

Yet what they feel 

Can leave you breathless 

Stir feelings within your soul

Creating a safe place 

To release a need

Not met in the flesh

Yet have they produced a world

That fogs reality 

Can they keep their feet grounded 

And their hearts in check

Or will their minds rule them

Making them believe 

It’s real

When in reality 

There is no kiss goodnight 

No touch beyond the screen 

Only letters on the keyboard
