(Here’s a little poem I wrote in 1996 whilst carrying on a wonderful long distance relationship via email. Back in the days of America Online and dial-up modems!)
Send.
Goodbye.
Thousands of thoughts, feelings
condensed into seconds of electronic blips.
Welcome.
You’ve Got Mail!
Millions of miles away, you read my words,
you enter my life.
For a moment.
My soul is nourished by the thought of you.
Smiling as you read,
smiling as you begin to understand
the complex person that is me.
Your reply waits for me.
Each step brings me closer to joy
peace
and light.
Do I dare linger?
Extend this sweet anticipation?
Welcome.
You’ve Got Mail!
