Love's not easy on the Internet
Words alone can be misunderstood
Love needs eyes and lips and hands to let
The hurt rest easy when the joy feels good
Lovers can't reach through the opaque screen
To underscore a message with their arms
To say with touch exactly what they mean
Or give the light caress that anger calms
Instead, they must rely on faith and trust
Loving patiently a fleshless soul
Taking words for kisses 'cause they must
With full communion their elusive goal
Be patient, love, and someday soon you'll see
My body tell you what you mean to me
