www.love

You know you've got something special
When you fall in love on the 'net.
The most important thing about being in love
Is what some people seem to forget.
First you probably meet in a chat room,
Or a message board someone put up.
Next you ask her to send you an e-mail;
Chew your nails 'till it finally shows up.
You begin to talk about nothing,
Then that "nothing" just turns into fun.
Then all of a sudden you're humming a song,
You never thought ever you'd hum!
Soon deep in your heart stirs a feeling.
A feeling so fresh and alive.
When all of a sudden you're saving.
All her e-mail on your hard-drive!
You both find you have some things in common,
Even more than just music and shows.
You are starting to talk about serious things,
When all of a sudden your heart thinks it knows.
Next thing you are scanning your photo,
And she tells you she scanned one for you.
The pixels each cross in the e-mail,
You discover she's very cute, too!
Soon you find in your heart that you love her.
She tells you that she loves you, too.
When all of a sudden you're writing her poems,
To your once-in-a-lifetime soulmate come true.
Next thing you are having a phone date.
She sounds like you knew she would sound.
When you hang up you feel she's your true love,
And your heart's on a merry-go-round.
Next you plan to make contact in person.
Then you wait at the airport in tears.
You get so excited the time has now come,
For your love to erase all your fears.
At the passenger gate there you see her.
Is it really and truly your love?
You both madly rush into each other's arms
Giving thanks to your gods up above.
You just can't keep your eyes off each other.
Face to face she is here in real life.
You talk about this and you talk about that.
When all of a sudden you ask her if maybe
she'd really consider to marry and love you and
stay with you all of eternity starting with now for the rest of your life!
Next the years pass and still you are happy.
You are soulmates and still so in love.
You still talk about this and you talk about that,
And this poem has no end for it's just the beginning
for those who have met right here on the 'net
yes, for those who have fallen in love...!
