ICQ

The screen flicks on and ICQ.

So far and yet so near. Your name sits there in vivid blue And I know that you are there.
At first I wondered if it wise To use my time in search Of something no computer feels Without a human touch.
But as I grew to know you Through lines upon the screen I saw a depth of beauty So clear though never seen
And as we talked of love and lust And kindled our desire I felt myself become entranced And caught within your fire
For though I have not met you Your earthly form not seen I feel your soul within the words Upon that magic screen
Oh, baby how you stir me Your passion strong and bright Brings to my full but lonely life A wondrous glow of light
The vastness of the world between us May stop our paths from meeting And so ensure my love for you Is sweet But oh so fleeting…
