I wish I could know you

And you could know me...

But truth is a harsh reality

I can’t open up

Because of my pride

To let you see

How much I’ve been hurt inside

I keep my thoughts locked away

It’s the safest you see

That way I know

You can’t hurt me

I know you would not mean to

Not like others have done

I feel sad wishing

That we could make love to each other

And just have fun

But I am too fragile

For light hearted play

I’d have to give you my heart

And then watch as you walked away

So I will be thankful that

Cyber Space connects us

Though we are miles apart

It is the only way

To protect my heart

You have a friend in me

And I hope I in you

That is the relationship

That will have to do

We can laugh and tease and talk and flirt

And I will not be left standing

With my tears wetting the dirt.
