You are half the world away, and my today is your tomorrow.
I have never seen your face, nor heard words from your lips.
I do not know your sounds of laughter, or the softness of your sigh.
I have not a clue as to who you are, or the customs for which you live.
I do know that you are kind and sweet, you are a thoughtful and caring soul.
You think of others before yourself, ALL others, young and old.
These things I know about you, even though we have never met.
I have learned this by coming home each day and finding you here.
You are not here in body and soul, but as a lighted rectangle.
You come to me every day as a message on my screen,
A message that I can rely on to cheer me up and make my day.
Through a keyboard we share our ups and downs.
I have opened my inner self to you, and you have to me as well.
We have traded secrets and laughs, as well as sorrows and pain.
I have never met you, but feel as if I have known you most of my life.
To most this might sound silly, but I assure them, it is not.
Even though we have never met, I feel a bond between us.
A bond that should have taken years to build, yet was built in a month or two.
A bond that lifelong friends should have, although most never do.
A bond that I am glad to share with you... My Friend And Confidant.
