I’ve said I loved you
Many different ways.
In texts, over the phone,
In messenger, Audio, and
Video
But never to your face.
Never, to hold you
As the words flew out.

I met you but couldn’t meet you.
Fear of what I survived.
Life and death,
So, I hide,
In tech
And give you my love
From Afar.

One day, we will meet
Under the stars
Where love will grow
In real time.
With touch.
For now, our love will grow
In a modern way.
