This is a poem I was writing over the span of a couple nights. I was definitely feeling pretty 'gushy', but I'm still happy with the way it came out. The poem starts out by illustrating what (I believe) love really is in it's most innocent form, and later compares it to how the majority of people see love. My inspiration for this poem came from reading the dilemmas expressed by a few contributors on a relationship themed message board. I was really shocked about how people tried to eliminate feelings from relationship issues, and act using strictly calculation and logic.

I hope you can find some sort of meaning, or enjoyment from this piece. Thank you so much for reading!

3 parts Complete

*Wattys 2018 Winner / Hidden Gems* CREATE YOUR OWN MR. RIGHT Weeks before Valentine's, seventeen-year-old Kate Lapuz goes through her first ever breakup, but soon she stumbles upon a mysterious new app called My Dream Boyfriend, an AI chatbot that has the ability to understand human feelings. Casually, she participates in the app's trial run but finds herself immersed in the empathic conversations with her customizable virtual boyfriend, Ecto. In a society both connected and alienated by technology, Kate suspects an actual secret admirer is behind Ecto. Could it be the work of the techie student council president Dion or has Kate really found her soulmate in bits of computer code? She decides to get to the bottom of the cutting-edge app. Her search for Ecto's real identity leads Kate to prom, where absolute knowledge comes with a very steep price.
