My Dear Friend

It’s funny how we got to meet..
Not in a party.
Not on the street.
Not in a store.
And you sure don’t live next door!

It’s funny how we know each other…
Not introduced by my mother
and not introduced by my brother.

And although,
I’ve never seen you
face to face,
I feel this strong bond,
through cyber space

EVEN with a face, not yet in place!
Who’d ever thought?

If I talk about *YOU*
my friend on the net,
to a person who’s not online yet,
they can’t understand,
how we met.

They have no clue!
How I can meet someone LIKE YOU!

So I try to explain,
that I’m not insane!
That I REALLY have a friend
in this place called “cyberspace,”
who loves me for “ME!”

And has NO doubt
what friendship’s about!
A friend who knows
it’s not in the looks,
or about our checkbooks.

And you’re not a friend
that I set out to choose,
but a friend I gained outta the blue!

Who UNDERSTANDS this friendship anew!
You my friend, type with your heart.
And you are truly “state of the art!”
You have feelings, that are REAL!
You’re a friend I treasure a great deal!

And It’s funny to know,
how friends may come,
and friends may go.

But YOU my friend,
I will always remember
for you are sealed in my heart forever!!
