All Warnings Are Silent

About meeting someone for the first time after talking to them for a while a la Catfish, but realising that the reality is never as good as the ideal

She sends me messages enveloped in affection

And I can see her, smiling in my mind's eye

Today I can feel her, wishing she was close by

And all is well

The alarm bells staying silent

Have I found heaven?

Or just an alternate hell?

She speaks words, becoming ever sweeter

And I can sense her, wanting to kiss me

The urge to embrace her, returned mutually 

And all is well

No warnings on the horizon

Have I found an angel?

Or just a demon who fell?

Is it too soon to ask to meet?

The game of love has changed and warped

All rules sent in reverse

What's the right or wrong thing anymore?

And now the time has finally arrived

To meet this wonder for the first time

Will all be well?

There's a stirring in the silence

Is this vision of heaven

Or a belated hell?

But she's an ugly soul, concealed deep

And I'm finally awake from my drawn-out sleep

All is in tatters

The bells ringing out loud now

My long-distance heaven

Emphatically shattered 

Another regret, another defeat

The game continues ever onward

Dreams are beautiful in sleep

But today I'll fall on my sword
