Almost a year ago we met,
good friends we became,
conversations we exchanged,
admiring you in the distance.

Pleasantries between us
became our norm
Complimenting each other
but never more than that.

In a place of words,
statuses and appearances
are "Taken" just like you,
so I remained silent, until now.

A chat window appeared,
our cordialities were exchanged,
Until the words I longed to read
suddenly materialized upon my screen.

Frozen
is this happening?
Silent in the dark,
My heart palpitated.

How after all this time,
this is happening.
A prior conversation
with a friend came to mind.

The right person has not come along
this is what my friend said,
his words resonating in my mind
and now they made sense.

In darkness they came
our confessions on the screen.
to sleep I went in a daze
but the words felt just right

This will take time,
but we know
I belong to you,
and you belong to me.
