Connection

We talked,
But you were never here.
I've heard your voice.
Got your texts and messages.
Never seen your face.
I've seen images of you
And let my imagination run free.
Making everything seem so real.
The way we connected, chatted
Made my heart glow like the last piece
Of abandoned gold.
Our conversations swept away any pain
And my mind would keep me up at night,
Re-playing them.
I never thought about nor wanted
Anyone else.
Just glad to know that you're here
And not going anywhere.

Nice piece, capturing the hefty role technology now plays in romantic pursuits.
Gone are the pen pals, mostly anyway.

Kind of puts me in mind of online dating too, or online relationships at least.
Perfectly possible these days of course to share a connection with someone without ever physically meeting them! Why, even a sexual relationship can be had that way nowadays.

Lovely writing, well done.

BTW loved your profile, for a young woman with your talent, you will go far. This piece was truly wonderful, I hope he now knows his limits? I especially loved these lines "Made my heart glow like the last piece Of abandoned gold." all that glitters is not gold:-) Highly rated, tweeted and shared.
