UNDERSTANDING

It's funny how we got to meet
Not in a party.
Not on the street.
Not in a store.
And you sure
don't live next door!

It's funny how we know each other
Not introduced by my mother
and
not introduced
by my brother.

And although I've never
seen you face to face,
I feel this strong bond,
through cyber space!
EVEN with a face,
not yet
in place!

Who'd ever thought?

If I talk about *YOU* my friend on the net,
to a person who's not online yet,
they can't understand,
how we met.

They have no clue!
How I can meet someone
LIKE YOU!

So I try to explain,
that I'm not insane!
That I REALLY have a friend
in this place
called "cyberspace,"
who loves me
for "ME!"
And has NO doubt
what friendship's about!

A friend who knows
it's not in the looks,
or about our checkbooks.
And you're not a friend
that I set out to choose,
but a friend I gained
outta the blue!

Who UNDERSTANDS this friendship anew!

You
my friend,
type with your heart.
And you are truly "state of the art!"
You have feelings, that are REAL!
You're a friend I treasure
a great deal!

And It's funny to know,
how friends may come,
and friends may go.
But YOU my friend,
I will always remember
for you are sealed in my heart
forever!!
