I couldn't touch your face or kiss your lips
I couldn't even hold your hand
All we could do was type words accross a screen
It was almost as if we were in this imaginary land

We grew so close and you became my best friend
I fell in love with you over time
Through all the Instant Messages, phone calls, texts, and emails
Our love grew higher than we could climb

Days turned to weeks, and weeks turnes to months
We knew each other better than anoyone ever could
Endless hours were spent talking about everything and nothing
We laughed and we cried, we spent more time together than we should

Our love was like no other, different yes but true
How can I fall in love with someone I can't see?
Maybe it was the words you typed across my screen
Or maybe it was the thought of something that could never be

We dreamed and we hoped, we made promises that we could not keep
We promised we would be together someday no matter how long it would take
But sometimes promises get broken and dreams don't always come true
Hopes get crushed and hearts break

You lied to me and moved on with someone else, someone real
Someone you could touch and hold. For me you could not wait
What happened to us being together forever?
I thought you meant what you said. I guess that's my mistake

Now I must move on and forget about the six months that we shared
Those months together I can never get back
You faded away from my life as quickly as you had entered it
My heart feels as if it's recovering from a brutal attack

The memory of you still lingers on my mind
The tragic way things ended were all unseen
I still find myself sitting in front of my computer from time to time
Waiting, wishing and hoping for those beautiful words of yours to pop up just once more across my screen
