Friends Without Faces

Ode To The Friends We Chat With On The Internet

We sit and we type and we stare at our screens.

We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

We chat with each other, we share all our woes,

Small groups we do form and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody to type out our name,

We want recognition and offer the same.

We give kisses and hugs and sometimes we flirt,

In rooms we chat deeply and reveal why we hurt.

We form friendships but why is a thing we don't know,

Though most of them flounder some flourish and grow.

Why is it that on screen, we can all be so bold,

Telling our secrets that have never been told?

Why is it we share those deep thoughts in our mind

With those we can't see, as though we were blind?

The answer is simple, it's as clear as a bell.

We all have our problems and need someone to tell.

We can't tell " real " people, but tell someone we must

So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains,

They are friends without faces and with odd little names.

Unseen Friend

Although you are a friend of mine

and letters we exchange,

I wouldn't know you on the street,

and doesn't that seem strange?

You hold a place within my life,

unusual and unique;

We share ideals and special dreams,

and still, we do not speak.

I picture what I think you are,

perhaps you picture me.

An intriguing game for both of us

for someone we can't see.

So for this friendship we possess,

we owe this mail a debt,

Perhaps the charm lies in the fact

that we have never met.
