We can't be friends forever!

We've shared so much with one another, we cried to each other over the horrible things we've experienced in life. We shared stories and sat around many nights dreaming of the impossible and making these dreams come true. We speak not face to face but through cyber text trying to convey our emotions as we post up emotional characters to represent our feelings.

I want to see you, but you've become shy and unsure about meeting in the former world of air, dust, dirt, noise, people, emotions, hate and desire, the world we were born in. I want to take you back to a place where we could express our feelings by touching each other hands and faces with a kiss on your lips. You don't want to return to such a place. Instead, you want to express these same emotions through the cyber world, where you are safe from visual guilt, shame or anger, true visual happiness and sadness. I don't want to see your body as an image, i want to touch it.

I don't want to desire your digital self, i want to see you and touch you. Don't call my cell phone! I don't want to hear your voice on this convenience........I want it how it used to be, the convenience of touch and smell. You say we need more time and that you aren't ready. Its been years and I am growing tired of your world of screen names and visual text. You say that one day, our love will be real. The real for you is a place trapped with wires, hi-speed connections, passwords, edit, spell check, insert emotion, back button, grammar check, upload pictures, send, forward, delete, compose, only in the end receiving a message from MAILER-DAEMON telling that such email does not exist.
