I Wonder Sometimes

 

 

 

I wonder sometimes

About moments online

Strangers showing love

Across the miles

His, hers, yours

And mine

 

I wonder sometimes

Faceless people I find

Conversations sublime

Words on a screen

Telling stories, secrets

Some that rhyme

 

I wonder sometimes

While we chat online

Passing hours in time

The joy of friendship

Smiles and laughter

In you I find

 

I wonder sometimes

Only knowing your mind

If it matters that I find

You’re really someone else

Though you’re still...

So kind

 

I wonder sometimes

Since we’re passing lonely time

If you’re really a friend of mine

Or just an imaginary companion

I’ve created in my mind

Online

 

I wonder sometimes

 

 

 

Author's Note

This was inspired by my thought that although we don't always know the person we are communicating with on the other end of cyber space, if the connection is positive, and brings joy.... does it really matter? Should it matter?

Tell me what you think...

I wonder too you have broached a subject we all must think about. I have friends on line i have and never will meet. Some friendships span years and some are new. Some we just click with straiht away andothers the rapport builds gradually.. I wonder if we could meet with net friends face to face would that friendship still stand

Very nice. Thanks for the read request dear! I am glad you put it up! I would be really your friend... I am pretty much friends with everyone. I have my off days alot but I can be caught in goods moods at certain parts of the day. I hope your memorial day weekend is going great! I loved this write. It is so true too... you never know if some one is just lying or if they are for real. Most times they aren't but I am a terrible lier and I wouldn't lie unless my life depended on it.

I agree with everyone else. Definitely something we've all thought about. It's always strange knowing someone for years online and finding out they aren't who they said they are. People can make a fortune off studying the net and how it has changed humanity as a whole.

You certainly hit the nail on the head with this one... how we don't really know everyone online unless maybe we have meet them in person or on the phone but even then it can be hard unless that are telling the truth... it's great to be online as you can experience people from different states and countries for that matter but you must wonder bout those who remain to private like what's there motivation... it can be a risk but the rewards are great too... Loved your insight on this topic my tropical delight.

Sometimes the best net friends should remain on the net... I like this, have done this and the results were and still are mixed

Very well written and, yes, I wonder sometimes as well. Great job of putting these feelings into a very pleasantly flowing piece. Nice write!
