A Digital Fairytale

Hi.
The word pops up on my screen
lighting up the darkness of my
cold little room.
The wind rustles the curtains
the way my heart flutters too as I
absorb the two letters
with a growing happy heart.

They say its not possible
to fall in love over the Internet
but I've felt it each night
the tripping of my heart
with every word she sends my way
without knowing that her silly little jokes
and emotional rants
are the highlight of my day.

One day I hope I'll get the courage
to walk up to her
tap her on the shoulder
and watch the fascination spread on her face
with the words I say
"Its me."

But for now
This is enough.
Just knowing she's there
on the other side of town
in her sheets, with her phone in her hands and a grin on her face
as she talks to me
the brat who's stolen her lunch
everyday since the third grade.
