Hi all!
This is primarily dedicated to a certain dear friend of mine. HAPPY. BIRTHDAY. Also, this is kind of a shout out to all of you who know the struggle of having online friendships. It's a major blessing wrapped in a curse. So, without further adieu, here you go...
And now I'm on my phone again
To reach the one I tell my woes to
The one who doesn't live nearby
There is no face to say hello to
And now no one is near
You're the equivalent of here
Sometimes I stay awake at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I talk to you and read your stories
Til I'm laughing while weeping
Forgetting 'bout the threat
In speaking on the Internet
On my phone
Pretending you're beside me
All alone
I talk with you for hours
Without you
I hear you laughing with me
'Cuz when we have a minute
We make fun of stuff uncouthly
In our pain
Or when we're just plain salty
We complain
About the crud that's faulty
But when Bogus
Just snatches what you wanted
I can't do much but hope that Paris actually *is* haunted
And I know
You COULD be... real unkind
Or at least that's what my mother seems to think
And although I know that she is blind
Still she say'
I could pay for this
You're my friend
But when phone time is over
I am gone
E'en though it makes me bitter
When Mom comes
My activity changes
'Cuz otherwise I'll SUDDENLY be "talking to a stranger"
You're my friend
And every day I'm hoping
That someday
We'll find each other somehow
Until then
I'll have to keep on coping
The world is full of evil creeps
That make this way too hard!
You're my friend
I'm your friend
Two best friends
But only on our phones
Yes, I had to get really creative with those near rhymes. For all the words in the rhyming dictionaries, you'd think there would be something useful... *shrugs* Ah well, nothing's perfect.
