A Failure to Connect

It has been a long time now
Since we first started chatting,
And I feel that I have gotten
To know you rather well,
And I think of you as a friend,
Yet somehow I sense
The distance beginning to grow,
And it saddens me to think
That we may never meet
And find out whether
The compatibility was real.
Whatever the outcome,
I want you to know
How much I enjoyed
Your company.
I always looked forward
To finding you
Waiting on the Internet for me.
I guess that we
Just weren’t able to
Overcome the challenges of
Time, distance and life.
Even as we grow apart
And a melancholy sadness sets in,
I am glad I met you
For you have enriched my life!
Thank you girl!
