Internet Dating

Why does he talk to me?

Why does he admire me?

He's never met me in real life.

And I'm sick of this internet dating.

I'm sick of waiting, hoping, wondering, anticipating-- more dissapointments.

He looks aright on paper I guess-- or more like on a webpage, like myspace.

And something doesn't quite click with me about him, but everything else does.

I don't remember if I should like someone, or hate them before I fall in love.

I'm scared to see his face, and I don't know what a relationship should be based on, if not on a chase.

His dark skin brings delight, but the "concept" of love reminds me of a broken heart, and of nights crying in my bed, not telling anyone the things my ex-boyfriend did.

No more internet dating!

No more anxiously waiting to see if he'll accept my hips and thighs, my lips and eyes.

He's not a rebound guy, I've been single for almost half a year--I've been unhappy for a lot longer.

I'm afraid because I don't want him to hurt me, and I don't know him that well.

You jus don't lovvve everyone, then it wouldn't be real.

I loved my ex-- I was his, and I'm still not 100 percent over him.

But his memory keeps on haunting me, and so does his infidelity.

Picture comments, and text messages can't build a solid foundation.

Once a month meetings in Manhattan won't paint a purple love, not the way I wan't it.

Long distance, internet dating, it's just not enough.

But I'll let him play the part he wants, just for the fun of it, just to see where things go.

Love-- do we know it's everything we're searching for?

In a world dominated by internet dating.

Soul Collector

In search of life, we all grasp at straws to hold.

This asylum called internet will certainly suck the life

From you, if you let it. The word, "Focus" will become

Obsolete from your dictionary and "Rejuvenating Thought,"

Pass'e. A good reliever of daily stress yet, seductive as some

Of its inhabitants... Welcome to the Soul collector!

         "Fragile Soul, Don't Break"!

Be careful of internet dating you can get burned. I know it happened to my dtr 3x, happened to a friend of mine who married the guy had a kid and now is heading for divorce court because he's an abusive louse,and happened to a friend of mine who left our state went to california only 6 months later to have his ring thrown at him and get told he could now go home. You are better to join something local and meet people face to face. On the net anyone can reinvent themselves ..
