My Online Friend

Having a friend who's so close yet lives so far away

You live so far away, yet you're so close
Sweet as can be, more friendly than most
You listen when others won't

I wish I could give you a hug that's real
Hang out with you, have fun, share a meal
We share the funnest and most personal of things

It hurts to know I may never see your face
That we may never have a fun hang out place
That a hug we may never share

Just seeing a "what's up?" or a cheery "hey"
It makes my sadness and problems go away
Just having you there for me makes me smile

Knowing that when I see your screen name
Makes my day, knowing you came
Another long convo waiting just ahead

Promise me, we'll be friends for always
Through every different phase
For your friendship means too much.
