You On Line

There are times
When I feel
So very much alone,
Frustrated
And wanting you
By my side.

We have talked a lot,
You and I,
Enough to know
That there is
Something there,
Though we never met.

I have found
That the remedy
For my loneliness
Lies in the words
That you say
Each time we connect.

And it doesn’t matter
Whether or not
The distance between us
Is great or small,
It does me good
Knowing that you are there.

The simple words you say
Alleviate the pain
Of feeling alone
And cause me
To appreciate
The beauty of being alive.
